The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/VfB-Stuttgart-c40879 coach has insisted that his side is well prepared for the UEFA Europa League qualifier against Russian side Dinamo Moscow.
Stuttgart won their first-leg qualifier against the Russian side with a 2-0 scoreline last week as Vedad Ibisevic scored a brace. Die Roten won the clash at the Mercedes-Benz-Arena and are now aiming to get a decent result at the
Arena Khimki on Tuesday, August 28.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Russia-c2991 as well and is hopeful of progressing through to the next round in the second-tier European competition. The manager wants a similar performance
in the second-leg after the disappointing loss at home against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/VfL-Wolfsburg-c40881 in the Bundesliga this past weekend.
“We demonstrated in the first match what we're capable of and we want to show that again in the second leg,” he was quoted as saying in an interview.
The tactician stressed that the opposition will be looking to take their chances as they would want to win the game with a three-goal margin to progress to the group stage. He warned his side against complacency in the game as
he feels that the Russians are certainly capable of making a comeback.
Labbadia has predicted that the home side will definitely put a lot of pressure on his team in the second-leg and stated that his defence has to be alert throughout the course of 90 minutes, if a good result is to be achieved.
He added that his side will play positive football and will go for a win.
“I'm expecting Dinamo to try absolutely everything to make up for the 2-0 loss. We've got to be organised and professional just like in the first leg. Dinamo will come at us, but we're definitely not the type of team to park the
bus,” he concluded.
VfB Stuttgart will qualify for the group stages of the competition if they manage to win the game or play a draw. They can even progress with a defeat, given the margin of loss in less than two goals.
