“We approach the game with maximum energy and enthusiasm. They did everything they prepared, the team worked well. We think they are ready. But only the field will be crucial.
Can the Polissya be affected by more matches? We don’t have to think that way and should not have such a mood. We are feeling well and we think about this game since July. We have five substitutions, we only work for 40 days, but that is enough to have ideas and our own style of play. We have to realize this with strength and beliefs.
Rotan said we could reach the finale? Their coach is cunning. Everyone has a strategy, he is a good coach, and they are a good team. Balanced, quality, among the starting players as many as 7 left -handed players. But we think about our own progress and to go through this round. It will be a difficult game, but we are ready. It is normal that you will have to overcome difficulties together.
My project is formed by club and staff cooperation. We want to increase the technical level and our ambitions. It takes time, we work well, and the club has kept key players – where HEA, Dodo, Kin, Mandragora and others. We need to raise the level: if it comes out in this transfer window – well, if not – we will do it later. This path requires energy and motivation.
I want to give the trophy David Astor. I do not want to be banal, but Davide is always with me, and now even more. It would be a dream, but first you need to play and grow as a team. I found the team, ready to work, now I need to bring it on the field.
Piccolies? We will not talk about the transfer market, we are here for the game. Unfortunately, the market does not coincide with the needs of coaches. We still do not understand why they are to give, but we must accept it. We work with those who are and do not talk about transfers.
Did you need to work on motivation? No, because it would mean that everything is very bad, which is not true. From the beginning of the meeting, we clearly had this date in my head.
We worked on game ideas and balance, not motivation. The conference league is a chance to prove our value and play in Europe, which is always important. If we want to grow, we must stay in the European Cups with ambitions, and our Europe is now a conference league. Composition? In friendly matches, I have already done tests.
Do we feel like “Chelsea” last year? The season has not yet begun. We are strong on paper, but there is also Crystal Pelas or German clubs. Anyway, I’m sure we will play well tomorrow. We have a great desire to win and spend an incredible season, ”Pioli said.
The first match will be held on August 21 at Tatran Arena in Preshev. The starting whistle will sound at 9:00 pm Kyiv time.
