Dynamo Kyiv will face French Rennes in the Europa League group stage on Thursday, and Mircea Lucescu told how his team’s players are preparing for the game in Krakow in difficult conditions, amid explosions, training without lighting and chaotic organization.

Last Sunday, the team from the capital of Ukraine recovered in the domestic championship after a victory over Lviv “Rukh”, but the match was interrupted by an alarm that forced everyone to hide for an hour and a half, writes AFP.

The next day, Russian bombing caught the players off guard as they prepared to begin training. The meeting was canceled and the team quickly left for the Polish city of Krakow. After arriving at their destination, after a seven-hour journey, the team could not find a lighted training field.

But the Romanian coach also found an advantage: “Training without light – it trains your concentration, attention and cooperation.”

Mircea Lucescu’s side, bottom of their Europa League group after three defeats, must win at Rennes on Thursday and the Romanian coach believes it is possible despite the departure of foreign players, injuries, constant travel and the tension of the conflict. writes Agerpres.
