Famous Ukrainian journalist and commentator Roberto Morales shared his expectations from the central match of the 28th round of the Ukrainian championship, in which Shakhtar Donetsk and Dynamo Kyiv will play tomorrow in Lviv.
"The very match for millions upon millions and the Champions League. Long-awaited and full of all kinds of pre-match gossip. The disposition is as difficult as possible for Kyiv, because they need to win and then the opponent's mistakes combined with their own impeccability.
It should not be forgotten that Shakhtar's winning streak in the national championship has already lasted fourteen matches. No matter what anyone says about the refereeing or questionable postponements a la Chornomorets, this is still a solid result.
At the moment, Shakhtar's attack is looking strong. Danylo Sikan is in top form, there is Lassina Traore and the support of Sudakov and the Brazilians.
"Dynamo, on the other hand, has improved significantly since the arrival of Oleksandr Shovkovskyi. It is with this coach as a full-fledged manager that it will not lose. The draws with Veres and LNZ are not indicative of this match, because the scenario of those matches will not be repeated.
My bet is that Shakhtar will not lose and both teams will score goals," Morales said.
"Arsenal are looking for a replacement for Aaron Ramsdale for next season, as the 25-year-old goalkeeper is set to leave the North London club in the summer.
According to the Evening Standard, the Gunners are considering three candidates to strengthen their backline. "Arsenal are offered to sign their former goalkeeper Wojciech Szczęsny. The other two candidates are Brighton goalkeeper Jason Steele and Ajax's Diant Ramage.
The 34-year-old Pole played his career at Arsenal and made 181 appearances for the Gunners before joining Juventus in 2017.
Everton coach Sean Dyche was named the Premier League's best coach in April.
This is the third award in his career for the 52-year-old. This time, Deitch was ahead of Michel Arteta and Josep Guardiola. In April, the Toffees won 13 points out of 18 possible. "Everton defeated Burnley (1-0), Nottingham (2-0), Liverpool (2-0) and Brentford (1-0). There was also a defeat against Chelsea (0:6) and a draw with Newcastle (1:1).
It is worth noting that Deitch managed to keep Everton in the English Premier League despite the club's double disqualification.
Renowned journalist Serhiy Tyshchenko talks about Dynamo U-19's chances of winning the youth championship after their 2-1 victory over Shakhtar U-19.
"After Dynamo's victory over Shakhtar in Shchaslyve, the Dynamo U-19 team needs 4 points in two rounds to win the championship. Now Dynamo have plus two points. Ihor Kostiuk's team won both head-to-head games - 2-0 and 2-1. Four points in two rounds will bring gold medals.
In the next round, Kyiv will play in Kryvyi Rih against Kryvbas, as the first game took place in Kyiv. I do not rule out that this game will be moved to Kyiv. Then we have a trip to the current champion Rukh. "Kryvbas is a strong mid-table side, while Rukh fell apart in the spring. If there is no sensation, Kyiv can win and not lose. Concentration, attention, motivation - there is no need to invent anything.
In reality, even one victory may be enough. Shakhtar have matches against Dnipro-1 and Kryvbas. I don't really believe they will win twice," Tyshchenko wrote on Telegram.

Shakhtar U-19 head coach Oleksiy Bielik commented on the 1-2 loss to Dynamo U-19 in the 28th round of the Ukrainian Youth Championship.
- "In general, I am satisfied with everything except the result, but this happens when you are constantly on the ball and actually do not allow the opponent to create almost anything, and they take advantage of the moment at the first opportunity. "Dynamo U-19 is famous for the fact that it can suffer, playing with a low block, and then organise a quick counterattack. Yes, someone might say that, based on the standings, we should have played a low block and counterattacked, but that's not our style. Regardless of the coaches or players, Shakhtar Academy will always bring up bright individual personalities who will bring results.
We had injuries to Latsabidze, Udod and Drozd, who are the main players in the defence line, and young Sheleketa and Kostyuk played in their positions, and they did a great job and shut down the best scorer in the youth championship. I'm completely satisfied with the game, and the defeat is probably all the more offensive. We outplayed the opponent in almost everything, played our football, controlled the ball, tried to create goal-scoring chances. Yes, we didn't create many opportunities, but there were options when we shot from mid-range, closed flank passes and hit the post. In fact, there was a lack of quality in the final phase of the attack and pre-goal passing, but this happens, and even the strongest teams in the world sometimes have problems when the opponent quickly rebuilds in defence and plays a low block.
I am proud of the way the team played and believe that the players gave their best, only a goal was missing to get a positive result. I would also like to thank the players of the Shakhtar Academy of all ages and the fans who came to support us at the stadium. It motivated the team a lot," Belik was quoted as saying by Shakhtar's official website.
