a shocker for Kiev. Gladbach desperately need to play in Europe’s elite competition to generate funds for the club.
The tactician claimed that the Bundesliga side put up great efforts last time around and were rewarded excellently by finishing fourth in the league. Favre’s team were very impressive and at one time were challenging for the title,
therefore a shock defeat at their home ground was astounding and they will try to alter the result in the second leg.
"We worked so hard last season and did so well, so the home defeat was a big surprise," Lucien Favre was quoted as saying in his interview.
In the return match the foals play an away fixture in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ukraine-c3032 and the club official stressed that his team will give their best efforts to take the game away from the rival team. He said they face a very tricky situation but still
believes the German team is up to the task of beating them.
"Dynamo are at home, but we have a chance and we will do all that we can to take it. It will be difficult, but not impossible," the former Zurich and Servette manager finally concluded.
The match is due to take place on Wednesday. Gladbach have started their league campaign with a winning start defeating Hoffenheim 2-1 in the league opener.
