Former Ukraine national team midfielder Andriy Polunin told which of Dynamo's players can take the lead in the first match of the Europa League group stage against Lazio, which will take place on September 25 in Hamburg.
Andriy Polunin- "This season, Dynamo has been representing Ukraine with dignity on the international stage. I hope that the Kyiv team will be able to perform well in the second-ranked continental football tournament, the Europa League.
Who can be in the spotlight? I expect a bright game from Mykola Shaparenko, Vladyslav Kabaev, and Volodymyr Brazhko. Scouts of famous clubs are closely watching the competition in the Europa League, and with a good game, you can get a tempting offer. This chance should be used.
Of course, I really want Dynamo to start this tournament with a victory. And although Kyiv has a long bench, I think that coach Oleksandr Shovkovskyi will throw all the leading players into the battle. I am aware that his Lazio colleague does not rule out the appearance of several reserves in the start, but it is the prerogative of the Romans to put on the field.
Today a lot will depend on who scores a quick goal. This would primarily benefit Dynamo, who like to counterattack, while Lazio is a more viscous team. Still, I am inclined to believe that there will be no winner in Hamburg," Polunin said.
