Dnipro Coach Myron Markevych claims the second leg of the Europa League semi-final “will be a different game” against Napoli.
It kicks off on Thursday at 20.05 UK time (19.05 GMT) in Kiev.
Although the first leg ended 1-1, the Partenopei dominated possession at the Stadio San Paolo and wasted numerous chances.
“Tomorrow it will be a different game to the one we played in Italy. We’ll try to break up Napoli’s tempo,” said the Coach in his Press conference.
“We weren’t ourselves in Italy. Napoli pushed us, but tomorrow my players will be more relaxed and we’ll play the way we know how.
“I am confident of the fact we’ll see a different football in Kiev. I know the potential of my squad and hope they can play to the best of their abilities against a very strong side.”
Napoli were absolutely furious after the 1-1 result, as there were two Dnipro players in offside positions for the goal.
“I prefer to talk about football,” replied Markevych. “There was so much talk about the referee, but I am a Coach and I cannot speak for him. Besides, we could've had complaints about the referee too and we did not make them.
“I can only hope my players aren’t the ones people saw in the first leg. I don’t know what the result will be, because we are facing a world class team, but we do have the possibility of qualification.”
Dnipro are without injured Ondrej Mazuch, Egidio, Serhiy Kravchenko and Roman Zozulya, while Yevhen Shakhov is also in doubt.
