The head coach of "Dnipro-1" Oleksandr Kucher told what he expects from the return match with Cyprus AEK in the 1/16 finals of the Conference League, which will take place tomorrow in Košice. We will remind you that the first meeting between the rivals ended in a defeat of the Dnipros with a score of 0:1.
“The main thing is probably our desire. Of course, this desire should translate into our goals. If we don't score, then we have nothing else to do. Yes, of course guys have to come out and be aggressive, be focused, play with a lot of desire and enjoy it. And so that the fans also get joy from it. Of course, there will be changes in the lineup, but we'll see about that on the day of the game. We will wake up in the morning and we will understand.
We are aware that we will be playing this match on the anniversary of the war. And guys understand it too. We will prepare them, and I think that they will approach this meeting with full responsibility, because this is a very important match for our Motherland. We will fight to the last," said Kucher at the pre-match press conference.
