“I wonder how Lucescu will play against Juventus and Barcelona”

Former Shakhtar forward Andrey Vorobei shared his expectations of Dynamo and Shakhtar’s participation in the Champions League group stage:

“The Dynamo have a difficult and interesting group, but you can fight. The main rivals of the group’s kievists are going through difficult times. Juventus and Barcelona are not in their best condition. I wonder how Mircea Lucescu will play against them.

A year ago, I’d say the Dynamo don’t stand a chance in a group like this. Now, the Dynamo have a chance of qualifying from the group, and they are not bad. Barcelona and Juventus are in the process of restructuring. Also, it will be very interesting to see the confrontation between Rebrov and Lucescu. This group is very interesting.

We understand that the Dynamo will not be reinforced by three or four players, which the team needs. The maximum is one. If there are two, it is from the realm of fantasy. I don’t think for such a short time someone will come and significantly strengthen the Dynamo game.

In Shakhtar’s group, the difficulty is almost the same. Real and Inter are two clear favorites. Recently, the Pitmen played against the Milanese and they know all the strengths of this club. Let’s hope that by then Shakhtar will “wake up”, the players are in their prime and can trip someone up and fight for the exit of the group. It will be very difficult, but first of all we have to solve the problem with Borussia Mönchengladbach.
