Well-known Ukrainian journalist Artem Frankov told what he expects from the two-legged confrontation between Dynamo Kyiv and Austrian Sturm in the 3rd qualifying round of the Champions League.
Artem Frankov“With Sturm, in no case can you repeat the mistake of Metalist, as well as a number of other teams that are much more experienced in the European Cup plan. In 2009, the Kharkiv team, having hit the Graziani in the playoffs of the first Europa League, firstly, underestimated the Austrians, only strengthening in this underestimation after a lucky away draw 1:1 (“navigators” frankly gave us that goal by Denis Oleinik) , secondly, they started a strange restructuring of the roster at the wrong time - it was then that Metalist swung unchildishly towards a rather strange and unsuccessful selection (neither Eremenko Sr., nor Fredes, nor Lysenko, and even more so Burkhardt with the company of key players did not steel; the cart was pulled by others). Well, the conclusions were drawn, and the team's subsequent nightmares were by no means connected with football...
I agree that this is unlikely to threaten the current Dynamo - by definition, it is not up to experiments with the composition and some kind of selective quirks. Although if you manage to sell someone, then you still have to think about purchases. Evona, Fenerbahce has already brought in Luan Perez from Marseille to replace the suddenly realized Kim. It's just too late to drink Borjomi when the kidneys have fallen off. I suspect that the season will be credited to Jorge Jesus only in the event of a championship - despite the fact that his fault in what happened is not too great. Damn it - again I was dragged into the problems of Fener! ..
Sturm is a surprisingly young and unpredictable team, although Saturday's match with Salzburg (Sturm's victory with a score of 2: 1, - ed.) will certainly be closely examined by the Dynamo coaching staff and will allow us to understand in many respects who we have to deal with.
Since the reign of the infamous Franko Foda in the club from Graz (by the way, they are “black”, not “black and white”, even the heading on the club website is called “Black Facts”) and the bankruptcy / landing of the scandalous president Hannes The "stormtroopers" kartnige is betting on young people - both their pupils and those who were not useful to all sorts of "Austria", "Rapids" and "Salzburgs". Next door is my modest materialist, with which I tried to illustrate precisely this unpredictability and at the same time the prospects of the Sturm squad, as well as the approaches of its current coach Christian Ilzer, who is also very, very young. But you know as well as I do - firstly, it’s not a fact that this is a virtue, and secondly, it quickly and inevitably passes, ”Frankov wrote in the latest electronic version of the Football magazine.
