Former Dynamo Kyiv coach Jozsef Szabo has shared what he expects from his former team's return match against Salzburg in the Champions League qualifying round playoffs to be held today in Salzburg. It will be recalled that the first meeting of the rivals ended in a 0-2 defeat for Kyiv.
- What does Dynamo need to do to be successful?
- Win 3-0, but with our current team it is impossible. If Dynamo presses high, it will open up free areas, and Salzburg will quickly punish us. But in any case, we need a quick goal, and so we will have to press all over the field. Otherwise, nothing will happen! The Austrians won't go forward, but will wait for our mistakes.
- What can you say about the first match?
- Yarmolenko had three good chances, but he missed them. I understand that he is a veteran and a legend of Dynamo, but now he needs to sit in the reserves and come on 15-20 minutes before the end of the match. It's not right! They play him, create chances, and he doesn't use them. Andriy has already lost his speed and other qualities.
- What is your forecast for the Salzburg vs Dynamo match?
- The most optimistic forecast is a 1-1 draw. Perhaps Salzburg will score the first goal, finish on the back foot, and Dynamo will be able to get back into the game. I don't believe in Dynamo's victory at all.
