Kiev head coach ““Mircea Lucescu offered a press conference prior to the match on the eve of the second leg of the Europa League round of 16 against Spanish“ Villarreal ”.
– What do you expect from the second leg with Villarreal? What should happen to the Dynamo?
– I think it will be a match between two worthy teams. Villarreal played better in the first leg. We lost by a corner, due to lack of attention and experience of playing at this level. At Villarreal there are players with great experience who cannot be compared with the Dynamo players at this stage. We have young footballers, but they are very ambitious and play with great enthusiasm. So we will do our best to advance to the next round.
– What is your game plan, because Dynamo needs to score?
– Before us there is a strong team with vast experience. Let’s not talk about the game plan beforehand, we’ll see about it tomorrow. This is an important match. Of course, “Villarreal” is now the favorite, but we will play until the last minute. High-level footballers play at Villarreal: Moreno, Pedraza, Trigueros, Albiol, Parejo. But we are not afraid of them, we have already met this opponent. We will try our best to win. It is true that Villarreal has a better chance of going further, but we will fight.
– Perhaps you have already played such handicaps in your career? And what will come to light for the Dynamo in tomorrow’s game?
– I don’t remember losing 0-2 at home in the playoffs. I don’t remember my teams losing their first home games with such a score.
Tomorrow’s game is more of a prestige game. For Dynamo players, for Ukrainian football. We are not children and we understand that the result of 0: 2 is not something that can be easily retrieved. Therefore, motivation must be at the highest level. Players must play for their prestige, the prestige of Ukrainian football and Dynamo Kiev, a club that could beat Barcelona in Spain. We understand that this will not be easy.
