Yaremchuk injury, Bezus elimination, Plastun rebound … The three Ukrainians in “Ghent” had bad luck in the match against “Dynamo”. Het Belang van Limburg introduces two chapters in his report: “Unfortunate Ukrainians 1” and “Unfortunate Ukrainians 2”. However, “Gent” lost not only because of former UPL players. The level of play shown by the runner-up of “Belgium” greatly disappointed the local press.
It would be a big exaggeration to say that Belgian experts and journalists believe in Ghent before the second leg. “Gent” can forget about the Champions League, – quotes local analyst Jan Mülder Het Laatste Nieuws. – I don’t see how they can get a positive result. Kiev cannot do anything with teams like City or Real Madrid, much less with Ghent. They have to play in the Europa League ”.
Criticisms of “Ghent” are not accompanied by praise for “Dynamo.” Quite the opposite. In the same Het Laatste Nieuws we read: “Neither Kiev nor“ Gent ”play at the level of the Champions League. The defeat of “Gent” is all the more offensive because the “Dynamo” does not give the impression of being a strong team “.
“Like last year against Club Brugge, the Dynamo don’t seem like a rival to fear. However, the same can be said for “Ghent”. Less than ten minutes later, the “buffalo” failed in the main task of the match: they conceded a goal at home. Plastun didn’t know where and it allowed Supryaga to excel, ”says Het Belang van Limburg about the match. Mircea Lucescu was described with particular beauty. “When tears began to flow from heaven, Dynamo coach Mircea Lucescu, 75, threw a towel over his head to look like Mother Teresa. He could have been praying, although he didn’t have to. “Gent” played pious soccer, fearing to step on the “Dynamo” knife.
The football publication voetbalkrant does not use religious vocabulary, but simply describes the game of the Belgian team as “shocking”. The chaotic castling of the coaches only led to the fact that “Gent” played without confidence.
“Evil remains deep in Ghent,” La Libre points to the same problem. The ‘Buffaloes’ gave a dull game with many technical defects and made it difficult for them to reach the group stage of the Champions League.
“Gent” is only to blame himself. Why did you play without passion, with such care and with such fear? “Asks the author of the report on Het Laatste Nieuws. The “Gent” awaits the Europa League and a new coach. Return to Kiev? The mission is impossible. “
“Gent” can only hope for a miracle, Nieuwsblad, De Standaard and Het Belang van Limburg unanimously argue.
One of the key events of the match was the elimination of Roman Bezus for a second yellow card. The former Dynamo player is no scapegoat, but they admit that this particular episode could play a key role in the Belgian team’s defeat. Gazet van Antwerpen, for example, writes in the title of the party’s history that “the elimination of Bezus breaks Ghent’s chances. “Bezus was too excited about the game, and he was lucky they didn’t eliminate him in the first card episode.”
What kind of game should you expect in Kiev? The former player of the Kiev “Dynamo” and several Belgian clubs Sergei Serebrennikov, who became a football agent, hopes that in the second leg the Lucescu team will play the opponent.
“In important games, Lucescu chooses a good defensive blocking and waits for the moment of the counterattack. In this they are strong. I think this will be the case in the second game against “Ghent”. Probably, “Dynamo” will give the ball to “Gent” and will play counterattacks, especially at the start of the game. The team that plays with confidence will win, ”Sporza quotes Serebrennikov.
