Former striker of Poltava’s Vorskla, Sergiy Chuychenko shared his prediction regarding the clash between Polissia and Italian Fiorentina.
Sergiy Chuychenko— The Zhytomyr team’s performance in the championship so far is not quite what they would have wanted. However, in the European cups, in my opinion, Polissia has managed to learn from their failure in the first match with the same Santa Coloma, which allowed them to overcome another opponent, Hungarian Paksi.
However, Paksi and Fiorentina are like night and day. The Florentine club has a large number of qualified players, most of whom are national team players. Names like David de Gea and Edin Dzeko are well known to everyone. Recently, Fiorentina has consistently finished between sixth and eighth place, which speaks to their stability.
In my opinion, to expect a respectable result in the game against the Italians, Polissia will have to jump higher than its head. Because despite the respect for the Zhytomyr club and the abilities of Ruslan Rotan and his staff, it must be acknowledged that Fiorentina clearly surpasses Polissia in class, experience, and the presence of high-level footballers. Thus, there are fears for the result. But in football, anything can happen — and that’s exactly what we all hope for, — said Chuychenko.
