Dynamo head coach Igor Kostyuk, during the pre-match press conference, shared his thoughts on the first match of the other qualifying round of the Europa League against PAOK.

According to the words of the Kiyan coach, the team is looking for a super opponent, however, due to the change of head coach from the Greek club, there is not enough information about its new style of play.

" With the arrival of a new head coach, there is obviously not a lot of information needed, even if the team’s strategy has changed. We reviewed the head coach's statements, analyzed friendly matches, and we can also keep an eye on the new little team.

“There is no residual wisdom, as we are preparing for PAOK, but we are preparing for different tactical schemes with different options for stagnation of gravels, we analyze each football player individually,” Igor Kostyuk is quoted as saying.

Kostyuk also spoke about the personnel situation before the match against PAOK.

" Lonwijk is in the camp group and preparing for the game,” said coach Kiyan.

Commenting on the composition of the Greek team, the head coach of Dynamo did not see other players.

" Individually strong football players play in PAOK. We analyze and work hard to neutralize their strengths and encourage us to play our football,” said Igor Kostyuk.

Also, the mentor Kiyan was aware of the situation with Kostyantyn Vivcharenok, who recovered from the injury.

" Stosovno Kostyantina, you will undergo a thorough inspection. The only thing we can talk about is the complexity of the injury and understand how much time you will miss,” said the Dynamo coach.

Finally, at the end of the press conference, Igor Kostyuk commented on the tactical approach to the two-match confrontation, and the “white-blues” will actually be away visitors through the war in Ukraine.

“I’ll quote Valery Vasilyovich Lobanovsky: “Even if tactics have the right to life, if they give results,” Kostyuk summed up.

The first match Dynamo Kiev - PAOK will take place on 23 pm at 20:00 Kyiv time.
