Four replacements are planned. I have to give everyone time ᐉ UA-Football

Dynamo Kiev head coach Mircea Lucescu commented victory over Lvov in the match of the 3rd round of the Premier League.

– The four substitutions you made during the break were related to your assessment of the game in the first half, or is this the original plan?

– Yes, the substitutions were planned, a lot of effort was expended in the game with AZ and there is still another European Cup game ahead. And I decided to give the players 45 minutes to keep them in good shape. Naturally, its release added quality, speed, and new momentum.

– You see, this victory cost him a lot of nerve cells. What went wrong with your setup, especially in the first half?

– First, six new players and naturally this is a lot for relationships on the field. They are very different players and it is very difficult to fit into the game. I have to trust them, many of them missed training camp before the start of the championship. He had to hit them this time. Second, they didn’t play what we agreed to. They played different football, other players came out in the second half and began to act correctly, I told them that the opposing team is pressing, playing one against one to get away from this pressure, you have to make long passes.

In the second half we played 4-5 times and there were moments at the front door. Unfortunately, our flanks were unable to use the flank zones in the first half. I told them that there would be free zones and that we should use them. But sadly, we didn’t make it. So I put Kendzeru and Mikolenko on the flanks to help us in the attack. Mikolenko did better and more often. But sadly, he made the wrong decision in the last segment. He also had two chances in the penalty area. In the first half we improvised a lot, we didn’t do what we agreed to. In the second half we already played a different football, there were chances, goals and we won this difficult game.

– How would you rate Tsygankov’s game today? Are you ready for the game with “Gent”?

– He played very well and after the game I asked him how he felt. It remains to be seen how more will be.
