Dnipro 1 midfielder Valentyn Rubchynskyy said what he thinks about his team's clash with Greek Panathinaikkos in the 2nd qualifying round of the Champions League.
"We haven't studied Panathinaikos in detail yet, although we have watched, of course, friendly matches of this team. Of course, this is a strong opponent, which this off-season normally strengthened. It will be hard for us, but we can play.
As for my readiness, I hope I prepared well. I had a little less time than others, because I arrived later, but I feel good. I hope that the team feels the same way. Our opponents in sparring gradually strengthened, so I hope that this is how we will approach our best form," - quotes Rubchinskiy official website of Dnipro-1.
Recall, the first match between Dnipro-1 and Panathinaikos will be held on 25 July in Slovakia's Kosice, and the return meeting of the rivals will be held on 1 August in Athens.
