“Vorskla” under Maximov became more mature. This season could be spectacular
Two wins at the start with a total of 7: 2 and an individual first place – Poltava marvelously broke into the season. We have not forgotten how a year ago “Vorskla” was reeling in the background, yielding even to “Karpaty” and “Lvov”, with two wins on their asset after 15 rounds. And now they are leaders. Not a bad takeoff, okay.
On Sunday, Poltava’s team beat Ingulets, and they did so as an adult. While the opponent, being a daring and ambitious newcomer, tried and cared, they calmly waited for several opportunities and gained a sure advantage. Neither a penalty nor a controversial expulsion should fool the viewer: the victory was won in a naked class and there can be no injustice.
Then “Vorskla” will not play with debutants, but will meet the strong “Alexandria” and “Mariupol”. There it will be more difficult, but we are sure that Kane, Stepanyuk, Yavorsky and the rest will not fail, but will fight. Poltava now has both the squad and the coach in order. And if the stars converge in the correct sequence, then the current season will be a breakthrough for them. Georgy groshev
“Minaj” was criticized for getting stronger, but it was the newcomers who made the result in the game with Alexandria.
Among the three newcomers, Minai was the most criticized for his weak transfer campaign. Like, they took those who are not needed by anyone and with whom it is unlikely that they will be able to solve any problems at the UPL. But it was thanks to his newcomers that “Minaj” achieved the result in the match with “Alexandria” and defended the honor of the debutants, natives of the First League.
Anton Shinder scored the winning goal, but this is not the only merit of the experienced forward. It became a real storm for the defenders of “Alexandria”, constantly winning individual bouts and opening up to the transmission of any style. It is symbolic that the scoring pass to Shinder was made by another newcomer from the Transcarpathians: Denis Kozhanov.
Kirill Melichenko earned praise for his play on the right flank of the defense. This is the case when the rental of a footballer is not a bad thing, but an agreement that benefits all parties. Minaj closed the troubled position, Shakhtar found an opportunity for the boy to play at the UPL level, and we got a contender for the season opener. Renting is a good option if it is not overused.
The play of central Matic left a good impression, although at the end of the game he clearly lacked physical strength. Vasily Kobin also highlighted Alexander Snizhko. It turned out that the debut of the newcomers “Minaya” harmoniously merged with the debut of the team at UPL. I wonder what happens next! Igor Semyon
Kostyshin risks changing “Kolos” tactic
It seems that the head coach of Kolos has decided to play in the Europa League according to a new tactical scheme, with three central defenders. This is exactly how Kovalevka played in the last test matches, as well as against “Lvov”. At first glance, the transition went smoothly: Kolos easily won three points in the first match at the renovated stadium. But the rival was “Lviv”, which at the moment seems not to be ready for the season. However, it is difficult to predict how the players will react to much more pressure and with greater intensity, which will be in Greece. Such a scheme (in fact, like any other) requires perfect teamwork and work. Will Kostyshin achieve the desired result in these two weeks?
Well, and one more thing: who will Ruslan Vladimirovich put to the limit on Thursday? Seleznev’s injury, according to the coach, is not serious. That is, you must be ready to play with “Aris.” Evgeny, in fact, was invited to the team to solve such difficult problems, especially with his experience and ability to complete the episode. But in the match with “Lvov” Vladimir Lysenko showed himself to perfection, who is directly involved in the team’s take-off from the newcomer of the first league to the rookie of the European cups. Someone who, and probably him, deserved to play this fight. Therefore, Kostyshin will have to think carefully about how to satisfy the ambitions of two players who are similar in their playing style, who are the leaders of the team, but who can hardly be on the field at the same time.

Everyone has already ruled out Mikhailenko. But are all the Dnipro-1 problems in the coach?
A point scored in two rounds in a battle without the strongest opponents greatly increased the discontent of Dnipro-1 fans, whose hearts already require a change. They made Dmitry Mikhailenko the culprit for everything that was happening, who, in everyone’s opinion, is simply not able to meet high demands. On the one hand, there is truth to this, because the idea of the coach with three defenders has a negative impact on the team so far. But let’s remember what happened within the team in the summer.
In August, repeated news broke that Mikhailenko would be leaving his post and that Dnepr-1 would be entrusted to Viktor Skripnik. These rumors really had a basis, and the coach of “Dawn” was one step away from the appointment. However, the case settled down and Mikhailenko continued working with the Dnieper. Did the events affect the team’s off-season training and Mikhailenko’s own morale? Definitely yes. Therefore, unsatisfactory results are not just the mentor’s fault.
Also, let’s not forget that in the summer Supryaga left the club, having scored 14 goals last season. Was an equivalent replacement taken for your position? With all due respect to Dovbik, not yet. From Dnipro in general and Mikhailenko in particular, I expect great achievements this season, but are you prepared to live up to expectations with your current squad? It seems that some positions still need to be strengthened. Georgy groshev
Skripnik’s apathy evokes longing for Zarya’s future
Viktor Skripnik’s gaze was snatched from the operators several times on the coach’s bench at Slavutich-Arena during the second half with Mariupol. It seemed that the mentor’s thoughts were somewhere far from what was happening in the field.
Now only the sloth does not talk about the problems that exist in “Zarya”. Even the former gendir of the citizens of Lugansk, Sergey Rafailov, reminds himself, that throughout the summer and early autumn he repeats about three months of debt to the players.
It seems that the problems are not so much in the financial interruptions (although this is also an important factor). At one point, “Dnipro” and “Zarya” himself did not lower their heads, playing without money. In addition, the people of Lugansk have the Europa League group ahead of them: players have the opportunity to declare themselves and sign for a richer club in winter.
It is much more important that now Viktor Skripnik has a maximum of fourteen players: there is no competition, first of all, on the defensive line. The attack, thank goodness, was at least somehow manned, however, we must not forget that Kabaev and Gromov are actually midfielders, but due to the personnel crisis they are leaving on the front line. However, the defensive situation is just a nightmare. It gets to the point that in a normal game you have to put nominal defensive midfielder Lovro Zvek in the center position. This is not the same situation as in Dynamo, when part of the line fell due to injuries; in principle, Zorya has no defenders to rotate.
Will the problem be resolved before the transfer window closes? Who to play in the Europa League group? Can this clip not fail in the European Cup without additional reinforcement?
How not to remember now that in the summer Viktor Skripnik was able to go to the Dnepr-1, more financially stable, entrusting the Luhansk ship to Alexander Babich, who is used to constant personnel blows in Chernomorets and Mariupol. And this is also a reason to think if you are in your place now. Alexander Ryzhenko
A draw between Dynamo and Desna is not a problem. Problems can occur in a game with AZ
Kiev’s game against “Desna”, of course, could not please. But we must not forget that the residents of Chernihiv are one of the most disciplined teams when they play from defense. “Wolfsburg” with “Northerners” will have to tinker a lot to get to Eugene Past’s possessions.
But on the other hand, a rather toothless attacking game literally opened a Pandora’s box for AZ, who will play at the Olimpiyskiy NSC on Tuesday. The Dutch can also give the ball to the Kievans, while they themselves act on the counterattacks. How can Lucescu answer this? Still, how can Dynamo’s line of attack respond to this? What if you have to mark more than one? After all, you obviously have to score more than one.
The “blue and white” have monstrous problems in defense. Try to name the four defenders “live” (in any combination) so they can go to AZ tomorrow. In any case, there will be experiments and they are unlikely to have a positive effect on the team’s play near its goal. Alexander Ryzhenko
Shahab is Olympique’s best player by margin. Benito made his debut impressively, but we’re in no rush to clap loud
Klimovsky’s team very clearly met all the mentor’s requirements in the game against Dnipro-1. Holding out competently at the beginning and in the middle of the first half, they mercilessly punished the enemy for all the mistakes in defense. “Olympic”, unfit for the match in the rank of favorite, scored three, but could have more. It is not only well-coordinated team play that is to blame, but also the brilliant performance of some players.
First of all, we are talking about Shahab Zahedi. The Iranian joined the Donetsk team a year ago and has since justified his signing. In Saturday’s game, he participated in all of Olimpik’s goals, so he was supposed to receive the title of best player of the match. If he’s still charming, then he has a chance to get a promotion. Although now it can strengthen many.
Let’s also remember Benito, who was recently rented from Dynamo. He thanked him immediately, giving two assists, instantly prompting talk about the rightness of leaving the Kiev club. But let’s not rush to applaud the footballer, because quality can only be confirmed from a distance. Even in the match against Dnipro-1, it was clear that the winger still has room to grow, especially when it comes to team play. He often covered himself with the blanket and tried to play in an original way. Georgy groshev
