We highlight the most brilliant duels in the confrontation between Kiev and the Italian champion
In the first round of the Champions League group stage, Dynamo Kyiv will face Juventus, which has many top-tier players. Turin star leader Cristiano Ronaldo could not go to Kiev due to the coronavirus, but even without that, the capital’s club players will face serious rivals. Football.ua highlights the brightest duels from the upcoming duel between Kiev and the Italian champions.
Sergei Sidorchuk vs. Aaron Ramsey
The most important duel in midfield, which will largely determine the content of the game. Ramsey returns after another injury, the Italian press sees him in the starting lineup, and this is of great help to Juventus with their personnel problems. The Welshman flourished under Andrea Pirlo. It turned out that the new principles of the game are perfect for him: if Aaron did not have enough space in front at “Sarribole”, now there are favorable conditions for unexpected cutting passes. Today’s Ramsey is a Bianconeri playmaker who can decide the outcome of a match with a precise pass.
The Dynamo’s task will be to cut off the oxygen to such a dangerous player, and here the main hope is in the captain. Sidorchuk of the Dynamo’s main center trio is more focused on destruction, even if you can’t call him a classic defensive player. Sergey is experienced, discipline and diligence cannot be denied – these qualities are necessary to withstand such sophisticated masters.
Nikolai Shaparenko vs. Adrien Rabio
Another curious confrontation between the centers. Rabio came out only as a substitute against Crotone and in Kiev, probably, he appeared in the first team. Adrien’s performance leaves an ambiguous impression. Sometimes he can shine at the level of an elite player (a crazy goal for Milan last season), but sometimes he disappoints, forcing him to remember the saying about free cheese: thus, in the game with Roma, “Bianconeri” played better just after the Frenchman’s expulsion. Overall though, he’s a quality box-to-box midfielder who knows how to destroy and create.
Shaparenko, with the arrival of Lucescu, returned to the Dynamo base. His role is a deep playmaker. He lacks defensive skills, but technique and long, precise passing can be considered the strongest qualities. The effectiveness of the Dynamo’s counterattacks will largely depend on Nikolai’s actions, but will the Kiev “dozen” have time to implement their ideas, or will Rabio and company cover him?
Denis Popov vs Álvaro Morata
The duel of keys at the doors of the Dynamo. Ronaldo did not arrive, and in his absence it is not so easy to single out the main attack force. Dybala is not in shape and is not expected from the first minutes. Kulusevski got off to a good start, but so far he acts more often in support. Another newcomer looms: Morata, who returned to Juventus, who became the team’s best player in the match with Crotone (he scored two goals, one of which was disallowed). Álvaro is a forward in the penalty area with good scoring style. You can’t call it a super bomber, but it specializes in important targets.
The Dynamo defense has undergone changes this summer. Qualifying was carried out with the original combination of Mikolenko – Zabarny, but Popov, potentially the best center-back on the team, finally returned to action against Rukh. He will probably have to hold Morata. Denis is somewhat smaller than the Spaniard, but he is an incredibly tenacious and even tough defender, who is difficult to overtake one on one. If only there weren’t any unnecessary fouls and cards, this Popov looks a bit like Khacheridi.
Victor Tsygankov vs. Giorgio Chiellini
Duel of experience and youth. Tsygankov is the potential leader of the Dynamo, who became one of the heroes of the sensational victory over the Spanish, scoring the decisive goal. A breakthrough in international matches has long been expected of him, and it is time to show his prospects. Speed, technique, unexpected movements and dodging blows: it is from Viktor that the main threat to Szczensny’s goal may come from.
Tsygankov acts with an emphasis on the right flank, so he will inevitably overlap with the Juventus left central. This is George Chiellini himself, a man of dedication who often plays games with a bloody bandage on his head. He missed most of last season due to a serious injury, but managed to come back and is fine again, as in his best years. The most difficult rival for the Dynamo’s talent, and we must not count on the age difference, because Chiellini can face his, if not with speed, choosing a position.
Vladislav Supryaga vs. Leonardo Bonucci
In the last transfer window, Supryaga wanted to buy Bologna, but the Dynamo’s exit to the group stage closed this opportunity. However, Vladislav will continue to play against the Italian team. Supryaga’s surname has already been learned by the local media, it is at the right time to show your scoring talent. If he only managed to get in shape, the forward missed the national team games through injury.
The immediate opponent will be another veteran defender. It is true that Bonucci, unlike Chiellini, was never considered the standard of reliability. You can make a positional error, play too risky, act badly one by one; In short, the chances of passing it will arise during the match. It is true that they appreciate Leonardo for something else. Their strong point – the most precise longballs, with which Juventus attacks begin. Consequently, the task of the Dynamo striker will also be to timely press and resist already in the first phase of the opponent’s attack.
We remind you that the Dynamo – Juventus match will take place on Tuesday, October 20 at 7:55 p.m. in Kiev. You can follow the events of this fight in an online text stream, which will be available on Football.ua.
