Pekka Mantylä, the press attaché of Finnish HIK, admitted that before the 2nd round match of the Conference League against Dynamo Minsk on October 24, the upcoming game was discussed a lot in the club.
- "Unfortunately, we can't do anything else but play against Dynamo. We don't like this opponent, but it comes from UEFA. In principle, we could say that we do not want to play against the Belarusians, but then we would have to give up our place in the Conference League," Mantyulya told Yle.
