“This failure will not affect the Dynamo in any way”

Former Ukraine national team player Oleg shelaev summarized the results of Dynamo’s loss to Shakhtar (0: 3) in the Premier League round 9 match.

“If we abstract from the team’s game, we can always say that the coach is to blame for the failure in the first place. The wrong choice of the line-up, mistakes in the preparation, etc., are the usual set of accusations against the coach. But, in this case, it should be remembered that there are objective reasons for the defeat of the Dynamo. This is both a shorter period: one day, to recover from the Champions League, and a greater number of retired top players.

Before the game with Shakhtar, Lucescu was at a standstill. The Romanian specialist, choosing tactics for this game, had to give up high pressure, usually so effective in the confrontation with the miners. The people of Kiev realized that they simply did not have the strength for this.

This flaw will not affect the white-blue in any way, they have extenuating circumstances. Dynamo can explain to themselves why this happened. As for Shakhtar, for him the victory over Kiev was necessary for rehabilitation after the fiasco in the game with Borussia, and the opportunity to close the gap with the Dynamo.

Sidorchuk elimination? In dynamics, everything was viewed in such a way that there was no particularly serious violation against Kornienko. But it turned out that Ekaterina Monzul immediately made the wrong decision and showed Sidorchuk only a yellow card. When the episode was repeated, it became clear that it was a 100% elimination. After indicating it, the judge corrected his mistake, ”Shelayev said.
