Myron Markevich: "Lucescu is an experienced coach. Must do something"

Famous Ukrainian coach Myron Markevich commented for 1927.kiev.ua on the Europa League draw for Dynamo.

— The Europa League group in Kyiv is more or less equal. True, I do not know what "Rennes" is now, because they change the composition every year. We saw Fenerbahce recently. They have added with a new coach and it will not be easy. You can fight for second place. Kyiv must also add to the game, because if they continue to play like they did with Benfica - toothless and listless, then there is nothing to even go on the field. Opponents in the Europa League are not easy teams, so you need to add to the game, show character.

Dynamo's lineup remained almost unchanged. Verbych left - he hasn't played in the last six months anyway. As for de Pena, he is not a footballer to feel sorry for. Basically, the team stayed. Mircea Lucescu is an experienced coach. Must do something. It is necessary to make changes to the composition. Maybe let in more young people. The same Vanata and Vivcharenko. Putting the two of them on the wing - they give speed, there is a desire to play. That's my opinion.

— "Dynamo" and "Shakhtar" can play a match of the 7th round in London — is this a good move?

- Let them play. It's good. "Movement" played for five hours due to air alarms. In general, we were in favor of holding all matches abroad. To be based in Ukraine, and to play matches in Poland or Slovakia, for example. There are many of our fans. Not only are the stands empty in Ukraine, but football players are running and listening: buzzing or not buzzing.
