The Dutch mentor shared his expectations of the meeting with the people of Kiev.
AZ Head Coach Arne Slot spoke about preparations for the match with the Dynamo in the Champions League qualifier.
“For AZ, the Champions League is very important because it can significantly increase the club’s budget. We understood that in the third qualifying round we would get a strong team anyway. As we studied the three possible opponents, our reaction was quite calm. Some of the staff remembered the confrontation with Dynamo Kiev in the Europa League in 2010. It was one of the first things that came to mind.
We now have five days to prepare and better understand our opponent. We must take advantage of these days because, in my opinion, we will play against a very strong team. Without a doubt, the Dynamo have a good team.
We know a Dynamo player well: Fran Sol. We met in games with his former team Willem II and we know this is the guy who can feel the moment and score a goal, as he was one of the best scorers in the league with 14 goals.
We understand that the qualifying round consists of only one match, and that this is an away match, of course, to the benefit of Dynamo Kiev, although there will be no fans in the stadium. Just as we know every inch of our field, the direction of the wind, our opponent will feel safer in his stadium.
We watched the Ukrainian Super Cup game and that Dynamo won is really impressive considering that Shakhtar were recently semi-finalists in the Europa League. This shows once again that Dynamo is a strong and very powerful competitor, “said Slot in an interview. Official site Kiev club.
