Captain of Donetsk’s Shakhter and Crotia’s national team Dario Srna who has twice played against Armenia’s Pyunik has made his comments upon the Armenian team’s game .
“A very unpleasant team. We had much trouble with them. Dinamo’s in store of a very hard game. We twice defeated Pyunik, but that’s a minimum result. Even the game in Donetsk was very difficult,” Sportal.hr quotes Dario Terrikon as saying.
“As far as I remember, the football ground is also in a poor state. And Pyunik players are very unyielding. To be frank, Dinamo has stronger players, but if the rival team underestimates them, it will have troubles. Armenians prefer combinational football; they are very active and play rapidly, especially when they are driven from their tribune,” Srna said.
Under 2009-10 UEFA regulations, Armenian champion “Pyunik” is to join Champions’ League competitions beginning the second qualification round.
Pyunik will play its first hosting match on July 14 and 15. The return match is due in Croatia on July 21 and 22.
