Former defender of Kyiv's Dynamo Anatoly Bessmertny spoke about what he expects from the match of his former team against Latvian RFŠ in the 8th round of the main stage of the Europa League, which will take place today in Hamburg.
Anatoly Bessmertny“I am optimistic. I don’t see anything terrible in the fact that the Dynamo players will perform in a suboptimal lineup. On the contrary, the rotating players will have a great opportunity to prove to Alexander Shovkovsky that they can be relied upon. Moreover, today’s opponent is not from the top ranks.
However, the Kyiv team needs to stay alert. Last week, the Rigan team chose the right tactic, defended well, endured, and in one of the counterattacks scored a goal and sensationally defeated the famous Ajax. However, this was partly due to underestimation on the part of the Dutch club.
Still, I hope that the Dynamo players will act with maximum effort, without an overly optimistic attitude, and celebrate their first win in the current Europa League — 2:0,” said Bessmertny.
