Bosnian midfielder of Turkish Besiktas Amir Hadziahmetovic told what he expects from the return match with Dynamo Kyiv in the play-off round of the Conference League qualification, which will be held today in Istanbul. Recall, the first meeting of the rivals ended in defeat of the Ukrainian team with a score of 2:3.
"We won a good victory in the first match, but we did not show our full strength. We will try to do it in the return meeting. We will strive to win again, we are going to play without looking back at the result we achieved in Bucharest.
To some extent, in the first match we were hampered by the quality of the pitch. It was lower than we expected. But this is not an excuse, we still had to play better. I am sure we will achieve it on our home pitch.
The heart of our team is the midfield. We achieved a good understanding on the pitch and chemistry. I'm sure that this is the key to our success on Thursday," Hadziakhmetovic said at the pre-match press conference.
