Mircea Lucescu, the head coach of Dynamo Kyiv, talks about the friendly with Bucharest Dinamo to take place tomorrow in Austria and open the sparring programme for the Bilo-Syni in preparation for the new season.
"The match against Dinamo will be more of a training one. After all, our team has not worked with the full squad during the week. And the national team players joined us just a day before the upcoming game. So they will not play - a week of drawn-out training sessions awaits them. Besides, we have players who are still in the Youth national team of Ukraine for Euro 2023 (U-21).
As for our opponent, it will be a match against a very good team. Bucharest Dinamo play spectacular and at the same time very productive football. And it is largely thanks to their coach, Ovidiu Burca. I talked to him the other day and congratulated him on the game his team showed in the last games of the previous season. I was impressed by Dynamo in those games.
It will be important for us to have the consistency of the teamwork and freshness of the players in our first friendlies", said Mircea Lucescu while talking to the journalists at the Bucharest airport before leaving for the Dinamo camp at the training camp that starts today in Austria.
