Шовковский: В матче с «Ромой» постараемся использовать свои шансы.
The head coach of Kyiv's "Dynamo," Oleksandr Shovkovskyi, shared his expectations for the away match in the group stage of the Europa League against Italian side "Roma."

According to the press service of Dynamo, Shovkovskyi emphasized that his players will try to capitalize on the moments highlighted during their preparation for this match, as reported by Ukrinform.

“The Europa League is the second-tier tournament after the Champions League, featuring teams that, on one hand, are considered underperformers for not qualifying for the Champions League, but on the other hand, compete at a very high level and almost always participate in European competitions. In this regard, when we talk about football in Ukraine, we discuss survival; however, when it comes to international tournaments, we must look only forward and understand that today we are gaining certain experience and doing everything in our power to grow and reach, for example, the level of Serie A, which is among the top five leagues in Europe...

I fully understand that we will have a challenging match against a team representing one of Europe's top leagues. We will strive to utilize the moments we focused on during our preparation for this game, both defensively and offensively. In the upcoming match, Andriy Yarmolenko will definitely not play, whom we all congratulated on his 35th birthday, but due to an injury, he had to stay in Kyiv. We will also miss Oleksandr Pikhalonok, Volodymyr Shepelev, and Bryan Seballos,” the coach of the Kyiv team explained.

The match "Roma" - "Dynamo" will kick off at the Roman "Stadio Olimpico" at 19:45 Kyiv time.
