Head coach of Dynamo Kiev Alexander Khatskevich commented on the upcoming play of the Champions League play-off round with the Netherlands "Ajax".
Khatskevich paid tribute to the future rival, noting that as part of the Amsterdam club there are enough technical and fast players. In addition, according to the trainer of Kiev, he reviewed all the meetings of the vice-champion of the Netherlands in the most prestigious club tournament in Europe.
"Each team has its own philosophy. "Ajax" for many years professes attacking combinational football, with the frequent change of positions of players. We have more power football, with a quick transition from defense to attack, a compact game, pressure. We choose tactics depending on the opponent and the situation on the field. Therefore, I can not say anything new to you.
There are experienced football players, there are young pupils of the club academy. Sufficiently technical players, individually strong performers both in the tactical plan, and in single combats. The higher the level, and now we are already playing at the playoff stage, the heavier the opponent. But we could not influence the strength of the opponent. Everything will show the game, in what state we come to it.
I watched all the matches, including the second and third qualifying rounds. The guys focused on certain points, but this is our internal kitchen.
As for the last game, we showed the guys episodes, but on something specific attention was not accentuated.
There will be two different soccer philosophies. But I proceed from what football players I have at the moment. We play, based on their strong qualities, and what kind of football will win, we will find out only in a week ", - quotes the words of Khatskevich official site of" Dinamo ".
Recall that the match "Ajax" - "Dynamo" will begin on August 22 at 22:00 Kiev time. The online broadcast of the meeting will be available on TSN Proport.
