Ex-defender of Dynamo Kyiv Mykola Morozyuk commented on the results of the Europa League group stage draw held yesterday, which placed his former team in Group B with French Rennes, Turkish Fenerbahce and Cypriot AEK.
Nikolay Morozyuk“As for the Europa League, it cannot be said that this is an impassable group. You can fight for first or second place. I think Dynamo is capable of getting out of this group. It will be difficult, but the people of Kiev can overcome this barrier.
Yes, Dynamo recently played with Fenerbahce and outplayed him, but the group has a slightly different specificity. You can take points with the same Turks, but lose with Rennes. Here you need to go well the whole distance.
I think that in the near future we will see a completely different Dynamo. As far as I know from inside the team, Dynamo is not in a very good psychological state. It is difficult to play responsible matches being constantly abroad, without families and knowing what is happening in our country. In such circumstances, it is very difficult to work. There is an unrealistically great responsibility on the players. Many football players are young and it is not easy for them.
The team can be criticized for mistakes, but only praise for the fact that they went through Fenerbahce and Sturm. Benfica is a different level now compared to the current Dynamo.
In the new tournament for Dynamo, the most important thing is to recover psychologically and draw conclusions. Upon returning to Ukraine, everything will work out in the team. Mircea Lucescu will find the right words and Dynamo will be inspired again. There will be no easy games in the Europa League, but Dynamo have good chances. I believe that the people of Kiev will not be without problems, but they will leave their group," Morozyuk said.
