Ex-defender of Dynamo Kyiv Vladislav Vashchuk shared his prediction for the first match of his former team with Austrian Sturm in the 3rd qualifying round of the Champions League, which will take place today in Lodz, Poland.
Vladislav Vashchuk- Dynamo beat Fenerbahce due to their character and desire to win. That was great. I express my gratitude to the guys who, at such a difficult moment, overdo themselves and do everything to win. It's hard to name a favorite in this match. I think it will be a draw, but perhaps the victory of one of the teams will be brought by the performance skills of one of the players. I don't think that the audience will see many goals in this match.
As for me, Fenerbahce looks more confident than Sturm. But so far I don't see Dynamo's advantage over Sturm. Only the character of our guys who want to win and get into the Champions League!
Sturm is a serious rival for Dynamo due to the fact that the people of Kiev do not have such a playing tone as the Austrians. In addition, we have a war going on, which also leaves its mark on the Dynamo game.
I don’t see any specific tactics at Dynamo today - they play on defense and try to control the ball. In this match, there should be high dedication, the players are obliged to put everything they have on the field.
Such a concept as a game of the first or second number was invented by journalists. There is no such thing in football terminology. Who will control the ball more, the situation will show. Dynamo can score first and go on the defensive. These are working charts.
Dynamo have a lot of problematic positions, but they compensate for this with a well-coordinated team play. But if someone falls out, then chances immediately begin to arise at the Dynamo goal. I think that in the first match Dynamo will try to control the ball and the game.
As for the loss of Verbic, he is a highly skilled player who can give and score. He has a scoring instinct, he is technically equipped. Verbic played a significant role in Dynamo. At the moment it is difficult to say who can replace him - whoever is ready will be appointed. All Dynamo players are approximately the same level.
Vanat instead of Verbic? All football players must be versatile and versatile. I think Vanat will be able to play in midfield and play more from deep. Zinchenko spent his whole life in the support zone, and in Manchester City he began to play left-back, although he is an attacking player.
Lucescu? I do not believe in him and I think that this is not a coach for Dynamo. He is not for this club,” Vashchuk said.
