Belgrade Partizan head coach Aleksandar Stanojevic talked about how he studies his team's opponent in the second qualifying round of the Champions League - Dynamo Kyiv.
Alexander Stanojevic"We follow every step of Dynamo, absolutely everything they do, we are interested in everything. We see that our rival is being strengthened with new players, becoming stronger.
There is also some regret that the Ukrainian national team left Euro-2024 so early, because otherwise a number of players of our rival approached the upcoming matches more tired. (laughs). But we must admit that the group in which the Ukrainians played was incredible! All the teams scored four points, which happened for the first time in the history of the European Championship.
There were six players from Dynamo in the Ukraine national team, four of whom had a firm place in the main squad. This is worthy of respect.
I also see that Dynamo brought back some legionnaires from rentals. But nothing, I hope we have also strengthened ourselves to the necessary degree, so we will slowly prepare for the upcoming matches.
As for us, I already have a general idea of the team for the new season, a clearer idea of some of the players, as well as of our current state, and I am very happy with what I see now. We are moving step by step, at this stage of work the most important thing is intensity and the foundation of chemistry.
Of course, it's not what we want, we are far from it, but we are making progress day by day, that's the most important thing. I'm sure everything will fall into place in the end. The current preparation is shorter by seven to ten days than usual, and we certainly lack it, but we are not complaining," Telegraf quoted Stanojevic as saying.
Recall, the first match between Dynamo and Partizan will be held on July 23 or 24 in Lublin and will be nominally home for the Ukrainian team, while the return match will be held on July 30 or 31 in Belgrade.
