General Director of TV Channels Soccer 1/2/3 Alexander Denisov commented on the failures of Ukrainian teams in the Europa League:
Let’s talk about Shakhtar and Dynamo. Many people say today: “Why do we need the Europa League? We need to win the championship. “In fact, it is also difficult to disagree with this: the championship is important for both Shakhtar and Dynamo. It is important in the sense that it is only a means. The real objective is not the Championship gold medals, but enter the Champions League, where you can automatically live well.
Shakhtar have been living off money from the Champions League for the past few years. This money, both for smell and taste, is already available for Dynamo Kiev this season. And probably the Dynamo plan to continue this wonderful tradition, which was born this season, when the club, years later, was able to qualify for the Champions League.
The Europa League now decorates the season, but our rivals, both Villarreal and Roma, were not noticed by the Ukrainian clubs. This is the saddest and most disappointing. Dynamo’s match at Olimpiyskiy was disappointing, Shakhtar also disappointed in the match against Roma.
This is not the same Rome that Shakhtar beat 10 years ago with Lucescu. This is not the same Rome that Shakhtar lost in the two-legged match when Fonseca was the head coach. I didn’t like Rome at all. But I’ll say more: I didn’t really like the Shakhtar. And 10 years ago, I liked Shakhtar and Fonseca much more. It is not a question of individual performers, it is a question of desire and fire in the eyes. The players did not have this fire in their eyes. Who and why caused this: There are many factors.
Everything I said a week ago can easily be applied to any match on Shakhtar’s schedule. There will be many reasons, and Kashtru, who they want to retire today, these are the players who are called veterans and they must pull them as they did before. These are young players who clearly don’t look like the talent we saw a year ago. I mean, in fact, the whole team backed down. And this really should be called a direct word: crisis. These are my thoughts on Shakhtar in 2021.
If we talk about the Dynamo, what they have done this season in European competition, the demand for them is already less. From Shakhtar, the demand is higher, because there are more investments and the potential of the acquired players seems more accentuated. They look at Europe and European clubs look at them. Therefore, the demand is higher. Shakhtar taught us to do this, because at a bad time they get more. “
On March 11, the matches of the Europa League round of 16 took place, in which Shakhtar lost away to Italian Roma (0: 3), while Dynamo Kiev was defeated in the match against Villarreal. (0: 2).
