A little doubtful. That’s how coach Frank de Boer, the striker who had a large share in the previous round with three hits in the win diptych with Legia Warsaw (4-0). The coach will first have to see how Milik responds to training on Wednesday and then he hopes to provide a basis. ,, He is the last weeks have been very important to us and we will be very happy if he’s there, ” said De Boer.

Milik and his teammates were training Wednesday not in the stadium Dinamo Kiev, where the competition due to the insecurity is finished in eastern Ukraine. Ajax fled to the nearby Bannikov Stadium. De Boer was disappointed by the miserable turf, but was realistic. ,, It is here in the last few weeks quite cold, so then can something happen, ” he said.

Every disadvantage has an advantage, realized the trainer a little later. ,, In Dnipropetrovsk they had the support of many fanatical supporters. The stadium here will now not be full, ” the coach suggested after he heard that the expectation is that there are only 10,000 fans in the stadium with a capacity of 70,000 spectators will sit. ,, So that is a disadvantage for them. ”

Tonny Bruins Slot, the scout master Ajax Dnieper last week seen at work. He saw a team that defended well organized and wanted to strike with quick counterattacks. ,, It is an attractive team with emerging backs. From the defense they have a dangerous breakaway “,” De Boer now. ,, Play some good Brazilians along there, but their star player coming from Ukraine, ” referring to the coach of Ajax on Yevhen Konoplyanka. ,, This is a left winger who would like to enter. ”

Dnieper counted in the previous round with the Greek champion Olympiakos, where Ibrahim Afellay plays on a rental basis. The team is third in the domestic league, with only one point behind Sjachtar Donetsk, which recently held Bayern Munich 0-0. ,, It’s just a good team, ” says De Boer. ,, In addition, they have a lot of experienced players in their late twenties. It will be quite a chore. ”
