Dynamo Kiev coach Mircea Lucescu spoke to the press ahead of the Champions League group stage fourth round match against Barcelona, which will take place on Tuesday (22:00).
“We want to win tomorrow and victory will be important for us. I remember 2004 when Messi was just starting out. Then they had a very good team, but we won, there was a great boost in the development of football in Ukraine. Dynamo have been absent from the Champions League for a long time and this match is a boost for the development of the Kiev team. “
About Sidorchuk and Tsygankov: Sidorchuk has yet to do a single training session. You have just received a negative result and the medical examination is still in progress. The work will just begin. After the coronavirus, players have a hard time getting out. Not only did they not train, but they are also very weak. We need to build the training process differently to prepare everyone. I had to speed up the training process a bit. Tsygankov, like Sidorchuk, only received a negative test yesterday. If all is well, Tsygankov could be ready by Saturday. “
About Barcelona: Barcelona is Barcelona. Messi, of course, gives them an advantage, but the absence of such a player means that they will perform better on defense. They have high-level, experienced players. As for our roster, those who have trained and played at UPL are preparing now. No one added, no one withdrew. The same composition is being prepared. “
Barcelona is one of the best teams in the world. They go through difficult times. This is the situation of Messi, who wants to leave or wants to stay. This creates a nervous environment. Also, they have a new coach and this all takes time. I’m sure they will get through this period and come back to the top. “
“Lost at Atlético? We talk about different things. Atlético recently paid 120 million for a player, which says a lot about the level of the club. Diego Simeone has been working there for many years, forming a team. I spent a lot of money and time. They want to match Manchester City, Barcelona. They want to reach a new level now. They played well with Barcelona and it seems that they are capable of fighting for the La Liga title, ”said Lucescu.
Barcelona and Juventus scored 9 and 6 points in the group, while Ferencvaros and Dynamo Kiev had 1 point to tie in a head-to-head match.
