On Thursday, August 1, in the return match of the qualifying round of the Conference League, Polesya players will host Slovenian Olimpija in Gliwice, Poland.
Former player of the national team of Ukraine, a pupil of Zhytomyr soccer Alexander Palyanitsa said that can help the team from Zhytomyr to take revenge for the defeat in Ljubljana - 0:2:
"A lot will depend on whether our fellow countrymen will be lucky to open the scoring in the opening. At the pre-match press conference representatives of Polesie said that the nominal hosts would be aggressive in attack from the first minutes, which was lacking in Ljubljana. Let's see if the words are not at odds with the way things will unfold in Gliwice.
In my opinion, Polesie is not inferior to Olimpija in the selection of performers. But the chemistry is still lacking, and it affects the discipline. In the first confrontation there were no complaints except for the goalkeeper, because if not for his reaction, Polesie would have lost with an even higher score and today's match would be a mere formality.
Therefore, I want to believe that the coaching staff of "Polesya" made the right conclusions from the guest defeat and in Gliwice Zhytomyr team will demonstrate a game that will help to achieve the desired result, "- said Palyanitsa.
