Lazio Rome head coach Marco Baroni told what he expects from his team's match against Dynamo Kyiv in the 1st round of the Europa League main stage, which will be held today in Hamburg.
Marco Baroni"The renewed Europa League is a good and interesting format of the tournament, for us it is a prestigious competition, and all our matches here will be difficult.
As for Dynamo, we will face a tough team, which qualified. I am sure that we will face difficulties. But we need such important matches to grow. We want to show a great game, and that's why we will need to show our maximum.
The match with Dynamo will be a chance for those who played less than others. But I am sure that everyone who will take the field will give their best.
The upcoming game is delicate and important, and the Europa League as a whole is one of our goals, it is a great competition. It's an opportunity for the whole team: both for the youngsters, who need experience, and for the veterans.
Castellanos? He is an important player for us, you know that very well. And he would like to play with Dynamo. He feels better, but he hasn`t trained for the last five days. Castellanos is available now, but we'll see if he can take the field in this particular match," Baroni said during the pre-match press conference.
