“It’s difficult to defend when you have 18 to 21 year old players.”

Dynamo Head Coach Mircea Lucescu placeholder image shared his emotions after a great defeat at Juventus (0: 3).

“I can’t say we played badly, but in the end, our defensive mistakes affected the score. We did not finish some points. Affected by the individual actions of Juventus. It’s hard to play defense when you have 18-21 year olds. Juventus had 6 chances, they didn’t score 3. Our mistakes were fatal.

Lack of experience leads to such results, we play 50% all the time. We will not finish the first half with Barça, Juventus and Ferencvaros. Young people get a lot of experience. There are times when they make the wrong decision. With 0: 1 in the second half, we played well, but Popov cut, started a counterattack and we conceded.

I told the guys that they must not violate the principles of the game. He said that Juventus have powerful and technical footballers, but they don’t play as short as Barcelona. They need free zones to develop attacks. Our footballers haven’t played against opponents of this type in the Champions League for a long time, so this is a good lesson for us. For us now the most important match is against Ferencváros, which will allow us to enter the European spring, ”said Lucescu.

We remind you that before the sixth round, Dynamo and Ferencvaros have one point each. The match will take place on December 8 in Kiev.
