The well-known manager and expert Vyacheslav Zakhovailo spoke on the results of the first match of the 3rd qualifying round of the Champions League between Dynamo Kyiv and the Austrian Sturm (1:0), which took place last Wednesday in Lodz, Poland.
“The absence of Tsygankov and the departure of Verbich could not but affect the creativity and quality of the attacking actions of the people of Kiev.
But even with such problems, Dynamo achieved a positive result. In my opinion, the only trump card played was teamwork and discipline in organizing the game.
The score could have been different, but we were frankly lucky in a couple of moments. This is football.
Sturm, as expected, is a difficult opponent. The pressure in their performance is quite high quality.
A victory by one goal does not mean anything yet. I understand the processes in the organization of the Dynamo game. And therefore, I will be very tense when watching the return game.
Victory to all!” Zakhovailo wrote on his Facebook page.
