Desna has proven its stability
Before the round, it seemed that “Rukh” had a good chance of catching points in Chernigov. First of all, “Desna” went after the European competition and it is not known how they will affect him. Second, teams below second or third place in the UPL fail to pass exactly the championship distance. It seemed that with the loss at Wolfsburg, now was the time for a losing streak in the next game. But the “Northerners” showed that they are ready for a new season of the fight for the Europa League (and perhaps the Champions League). The victory was won with confidence and practically in class. Yes, Ryabokon’s team made mistakes on defense at times, but overall they kept control of the situation. Also, the attack line proved that he can score even without his brain Filippov. Although a week ago there were big problems with this.
As for “Rukh”, not everything is so simple yet. Ivan Fedyk’s team created at least four scoring chances, but converted only one of them. So far, Kuharevich’s chance is before his eyes, who had to score to maintain the intrigue in this match. Once the implementation is corrected, it will be possible to have a more serious result in the table. Alexander Ryzhenko
Seleznyov should relax
The “Kolos” – “Ingulets” match was not full of events. Petrovsky’s team built an effective defense, securing its gates as much as possible. In such a situation, Evgeny Seleznev became the main character on the field. It’s true, not like a high-level striker, capable of getting the most out of the slightest opportunity. And like a depraved star, who gets angry with everything that happens around him.
Although in fact this behavior is understandable, Seleznev is still headless. And as his former teammates have repeatedly said, scoring a goal is Evgeny’s main goal in football. And this is good, it explains how he managed to score 111 goals in the Ukrainian championship. But if in the future he is so imbued with statistics, he will lose all authority in the team, and it is unlikely that the history of relations with the “Colossus” will finally be successful.
It seems that Seleznyov clearly underestimated the Ukrainian championship. As a player for the Turkish club, he stated that upon returning home he would score goals in sets. And it turns out that even newcomers to the elite know how to defend themselves. The only way out in this situation is to calm down, roll up your sleeves, and work on your own functional preparation, ball feel, and understanding with teammates. Sergey shvets
“Dynamo” on the positive preparation for “Ghent”
Confidence in the score and the game’s victory over “Minaj”, which allowed Lucescu to re-control the closest substitute, without depriving the spine of playing time, an ideal test before the most important game with “Ghent”. The Romanian mentor is still grappling with the tasks assigned to him by the leadership. Dynamo are one step away from the Champions League group stage and ahead of Shakhtar in the league. Of course, any romantic period ends, and only after that will we see how the Romanian stuntman copes with pressure from the press and fans. But for now, he’s doing everything right.
In Saturday’s game, I would like to highlight Andrievsky and Verbic. The former, like Shaparenko, can start reliving his career this season with a new mentor. He opened the scoring with his goals for the Dynamo and generally showed good interaction with the team. The Slovenian took perseverance and scored for the first time this season. After the injury, he still looks tough, but little by little he is gaining shape.
What can prevent “Dynamo” from going “Gent”? Only Dynamo himself! For the moment, the Kiev club looks preferable to the Belgian crisis, however, believing in advance in its passing, they can lose everything in about 90 minutes. The fans of the capital club still have fresh memories of the Swiss shame with Young Boys, when, with a good first game, they lost the advantage in the second. One of the classics of German philosophy once said that “history repeats itself twice, in the form of tragedy and farce.” However, Mircea Lucescu is also an experienced person and will try to heal his accusations of self-confidence.

The current composition of “Dnipro-1” does not fit the style of Jovichevich
To understand the present, it is sometimes worth looking back at the past. When Igor Jovichevich took over Karpaty, he decided to instill in the Lviv team a style based on ball control. There were games in which the Croatian played without a center forward, releasing four attacking midfielders on base. Did it work on Karpaty? Not really. The Lvov team added up the possession statistics, but their play was often completely toothless. “Green-white” just didn’t understand how to make the final pass under attack.
Has Jovicevic changed since then?
Hard to say. But if in your imagination the ideal Dnipro-1 is a team that achieves the result, possessing the ball 60% of the playing time, then with the current selection of artists it will hardly be possible to achieve it. Tsurikov, Taylor, Adamyuk, Dovbyk, Khoblenko, Kogut – this is another football, it’s about sideways pumping, taking out and shooting midfielders rushing into the penalty area. So it is not surprising that immediately after the defeat, Jovicevic said that the club needed to refresh some positions. Sergey shvets
Shakhtar eventually won, but the same confidence is still lacking.
After a series of deadpan matches at the beginning of the season, the Donetsk club had to beat Olimpik in the fourth round. Otherwise, the pressure on the coaching staff and the players would start to grow exponentially. And, looking at the scoreboard, one might get the impression that the champion did his job perfectly well: he scored two, kept the door closed, and scored three points. But, only going deeper, you can notice the negative aspects.
Moraes’ current form is depressing. Castro stubbornly continues to put him on base, without giving young Fernando a chance. Perhaps the 21-year-old Brazilian wouldn’t have shined either, but until he plays at least one game on base, we won’t know. Junior still managed to score, but was hardly satisfied with his actions on the field. The 33-year-old footballer looked tough, overexposed the ball in the penalty area, couldn’t hit normally and at times just dissolved on the field. Kashtra is not ashamed of the player’s form, but is generally satisfied with the current selection of forwards. Let’s hope the optimism of the Portuguese.
The victory over Olimpik is likely to serve as a positive impetus for Shakhtar and get back on the winning track in the Ukrainian league. But is the team ready for the Champions League, which starts for them in October? After all, the Pitmen are an ambitious club that have not made the playoffs of the main European tournament for two seasons in a row. We are sure that the management assigns this task to the coach, but now this is only possible with the help of Ms Fortune, who can agree on a good lot. Perhaps lately we are criticizing Luis Castra too much and the mentor knows exactly what he is doing. You will have a chance to convince us of this next month. October will be decisive in many ways.

For the intrigue of the championship, the victory of “Vorskla” was desirable. But a drawing with “Mariupol” also adds color
It would be nice if in Poltava the hosts took fourth place in a row with three points and continued to lead the standings on their own. Immediately and you will not remember who, in addition to our two highs, started with such energy in the Premier League. “Leicester” in the Premier League and other sensations won the season, even thanks to a successful start: at the moment the team is gaining confidence that it can do everything, and then, having overcome the psychological barrier, it is already possible to achieve the result . Also, until the beginning of November, Poltava’s key fights only have a duel with Shakhtar, while Zorya, Dynamo and Desna have a schedule for Yuri Maksimov’s boys at the end of the calendar year.
However, this draw brought to the surface a number of other intrigues of the season. For example, what is Ostap Markevich building in Mariupol that his team plays on an equal footing with the championship leader and becomes the first to stop him. Did summer perestroika really give the Azov people such a tangible boost in results? Alexander Ryzhenko
