Famous Ukrainian coach Vyacheslav Grozny in an interview "TEAM1 ” shared his impressions of the return match of the 2nd qualifying round of the Champions League between Turkish Fenerbahce and Dynamo Kyiv (1:2), which took place last Wednesday in Istanbul.
Vyacheslav Grozny- Immediately after the first match, in one of the interviews, I analyzed the game of both teams, so I was sure that Dynamo would advance to the next round of the competition, Grozny said. — My confidence was based on the fact that the Ukrainian team is more playful. And Mircea Lucescu knows Jorge Jesus very well. The Romanian mentor often finds moves to get the desired result.
In Fenerbahce, with all due respect to them, while there is no game, the coach needs time, but these are their problems.
Many Dynamo players showed their best in Istanbul. I know well the potential of Vitaliy Buyalsky, Vladislav Dubinchak, with whom I worked in my time. The same Ilya Zabarny, I think, will not play in Dynamo for more than a year, he will be bought by a European grand. This defender is fast, balanced, technical, plays well on the second floor. He breaks the rules a little. If I were Josep Guardiola, I would take him to Manchester City. Why? Yes, because they only have a high-level central defender Ruben Dias. (Smiling).
- In the next round of the competition, Dynamo will face the Austrian Sturm...
- It won't be easy, no doubt, but the people of Kiev are more experienced than their competitor. At the same time, Mircea Lucescu's wards are able to tolerate destroying the game of any opponent. Moreover, I believe that even in such a difficult time for the country and football, in particular, Ukraine will again be represented by two teams in the Champions League group stage.
— From you comes solid optimism?
— Where without it. Let me remind you that Dynamo will beat Fenerbahce, I said before the game. I say even now that we will overcome the Austrian barrier. (Smiling).
