Prometheus is a more diverse team than Budivelnyk, Kamyanets has a better organization of the game, the players have more athleticism, and at the same time the opponent has enough "threads" that can be "hooked". that from the first game we will show the maximum aggression ". Dmitry Boldayev's colleague Ronen Ginzburg also pays tribute to the opponent and has the recipe of success both in a separate match, and in all series:" Dnipro "- ambitious, re organized and balanced team both in the back line and in the front. It has 11 great players on the roster, so it can be successfully rebuilt many times during one match. I believe that success in the series can come to us if we can use our tactical skills. And of course, the physical and psychological training of the players must be at the proper level.
