Head coach of Dynamo Alexander Khatskevich held a traditional press conference before the group stage match of the Europa League against Rennes.
- What would you say about Rennes? Dynamo missed after the standards, and Rennes is a strong point.
- The combination of players in the attack often changes with the opponent, we watched four of their games. As for the standards, the attack group and the defenders play aggressively with the standards. Concentration, attention - this is most needed. And even better - to keep these standards as low as possible at our gates.
- Can you count on all the players who came?.
- We have definitely not brought patients (smiles). As for Verbic, he has a testing practice today.. If everything goes well, I also count on it..
- Ahead in many ways - the decisive stage of the first half of the season, many important matches. Do the young guys have enough strength?.
- Today we think about Rennes. We have a tight schedule, two days later on the third. Autumn is always the defining period. Yes, we have planning, but we don’t look that far. Tomorrow - the match with Rennom. Let's play and start preparing for the Ukrainian Championship duel.
- Will there be an open match or a close tomorrow?.
- The result comes first. If we were in the lead in two rounds of the Europa League and played in a draw - we lost points. To leave the group we have to win all the matches.. How will we act? I can answer this question, but for now I will not do it.. We will have another training and we, together with the team, will decide how we will act, in what vein. We always define these questions together with the guys..
- Dynamo is well known in France. And what do you know about Rennes?.
- We have not so well covered the championship of France. There is PSG, there is Monaco, but Rennes - to a lesser extent. Now this team is not a mystery to us.. And the fact that you said that Dynamo is a famous club, thank you very much.
- Criticism, which falls on you all season, does not interfere with work?.
- I - definitely not. Every trainer should be ready for the like, for criticism, there are different periods.
I can discuss such questions with the club president, not with journalists..
Recall that Dynamo arrived in France with Verbich, but without Besedin and Rusin.
The match of the third round of the group stage of the Europa League between Renn and Dynamo will be held on Thursday, October 25. The beginning of the meeting at 22:00 Kyiv time.
