Head coach of Turkish "Besiktas" Şenol Güneş told what he thinks about the return match of his team with Dynamo Kyiv in the play-off round of the Conference League qualification, which will be held this Thursday in Istanbul. Recall, the first meeting of the rivals ended in defeat of the Ukrainian team with a score of 2:3.
"We started this European Cup season very well. 5 wins in 5 matches is an important success. But we want to continue to perform without losses. Winning on the opponent's pitch in a two-match encounter is undoubtedly very important. It gives us an advantage, even if it is small. But we still need to be able to turn this advantage in our favour in the return leg. We will need to play with the same dedication and spirit. Otherwise, we may face an undesirable result.
We are up against a very fast team that wants to qualify for the group stage of the Conference League as much as we do. I have no doubt that in the return match Dynamo will offer us fierce resistance. It will be important for us to control the situation on the pitch. We also count on the fans' support. We must continue our winning streak in the European Cup. But we should not underestimate the opponent, it can turn into unpleasant surprises," Gunesh said on the eve of the return match with Dynamo.
