The famous Ukrainian coach Vyacheslav Grozny in an interview Sports Arena expressed his opinion about the victory of "Dynamo" over "Sturm" (1:0) in the first match of the third qualifying round of the Champions League.
— Of course, everyone had a great time watching the match and got acquainted with the analytics and statistics of the game. So I will only recall a few episodes. It is necessary to be objective: in the 20th and 24th minutes, the 19-year-old Danish forward Rasmus Hoylunn could really score twice. But in the first case, Giorgiy Bushchan saved, which we are already well used to, and in the second episode, Rasmus shot over the goal from seven meters. We need to be objective: we were lucky in the second moment.
But the Dynamo team decided not to give the opponent more chances. Therefore, in just a few minutes, the Kyivans scored the decisive goal. And Mircea Lucescu's wards did it in their Dynamo style: after actively including the full-backs in the attack with a further high-quality pass by Dubinchak and a finish by Karavaev. By the way, in this qualification, Kyiv scored all three of their goals in this way.
Matches for the result are usually not good. It is important that Dynamo do not concede in two out of three matches. And they play much more successfully away from home. Dynamo's game organization is higher than that of the opponent. And the realization of moments in two consecutive matches allows to achieve the required result. Let's not run ahead of the locomotive and look ahead to the confrontation with Benfica. Now there is a return match with "Sturm"! Let's wish the entire team of "Dynamo" success and a quality game!
"I am sure that the Dynamo team will pass the Austrians, having a victory in the hospitable Polish Lodz in reserve," said Grozny.
