Dinamo Kyiv will face Samsunspor away in the UEFA Conference League on Thursday, October 23 at 22.00. Dynamo Kiev Coach Oleksandr Shovkovskyi and Ukrainian goalkeeper Ruslan Neshcheret made a press statement at Samsun 19 Mayıs Stadium before the match. Stating that the Samsunspor match will be very challenging for them, Oleksandr Shovkovskyi said, “It is always very difficult to play in Türkiye. Football seems very important here. We played with Galatasaray before and all teams play very aggressively. The Samsunspor match will not be easy either. I hope we have a good night.”
‘SAMSUNSPOR MATCH WILL NOT BE EASY’
Shovkovskyi, who started the press conference by condemning the attack by Russia, said, “Tonight was a difficult night for Ukraine and Kiev. 2 people died and 30 people were injured. We are experiencing a power outage and many problems. We are going through a very difficult period as a country. I hope everyone understands the problems we are experiencing. A few of our players will not be with us because we need to win the next match in the league. Samsunspor is playing a very good game. They have an aggressive and eye-pleasing game. We need to understand. They also made very good transfers. Football is a very different team game. As the coach, I decide who will play and who will not play in the Samsunspor match. It is always very difficult to play in Türkiye. Football seems very important here. We played with Galatasaray before and all teams play very aggressively. The Samsunspor match will not be easy either. “I hope we have a good night,” he said.
RUSLAN NESHCHERET: SOMETIMES WE MAY GET BAD RESULTS BUT WE STRIVE TO DO THE BEST
Speaking at the press conference, Dynamo Kiev goalkeeper Ruslan Neshcheret, regarding the poor performance of his team in recent weeks, said, “We are professionals. We accept criticism. Sometimes we can get bad results, but we try to do our best. In the last matches, we generally conceded goals in the last minutes. That is why we could not win.”
After the press conference, Dinamo Kiev held its last training at Samsun 19 Mayıs Stadium before the match to be played tomorrow.
