Former Fiorentina midfielder Oleksandr Yakovenko shared his expectations for the confrontation between the Italian club and Polissya in the playoff qualifying round of the Conference League.
Oleksandr Yakovenko"I have wonderful memories of Fiorentina. It is a top-class club with so many great people working there. Not to mention the incredible stadium and the remarkable city.
Fiorentina is led by a top-level specialist — Pioli. He could coach any club in the world. The Viola are very lucky to have such a specialist.
As for Polissya, it is a club with an ambitious president who has invested a lot of money. He has built a new training center, renovated the stadium in Ukraine, and wants to build another one. The team knows they will face a very tough opponent, but they will show on the field that they are highly motivated to achieve a positive result.
Team leaders? I can name you three names: Oleksandr Nazarenko — left winger, Oleksiy Hutsulyak — right winger, and Borys Krushynskyi — midfielder: he is hard-working and runs a lot. He would be useful for many teams in Italy," Yakovenko is quoted by LaViola.it.
