Today, on July 30, Dynamo Kyiv head coach Oleksandr Shovkovskyi answered journalists' questions at a press conference before the return match with Partizan Serbia in the 2nd qualifying round of the UEFA Champions League to be held tomorrow in Belgrade.
Oleksandr Shovkovskyi- Of course, the first game is of great importance, but professionals should not distinguish victories from defeats and prepare for any game with the maximum desire to show their best qualities - both personally for each player and for the team as a whole. That is why we prepared for this game with a great desire to demonstrate our game and our fighting qualities. As they say, we played only the first half, and the second half will take place tomorrow at this stadium.
- Are there any personnel problems in the team? Should we expect any rotations in the squad, given the result of the first match?
- At the moment, only Oleksandr Tymchyk will not be included in the squad for the game. Taras Mikhavko and Matvii Ponomarenko, who played at the European Youth Championship, have also joined the team. They are already preparing with the team. So everyone is in line and preparing for the upcoming game. As for the starting lineup itself, we will decide tonight or tomorrow morning whether to make some adjustments. But you will know about it before the match.
