Former "Dynamo" forward Oleg Salenko commented on the defeat of the Kyiv team in the match of the 2nd round of the championship of Ukraine against "Dnipro-1".
Oleg Salenko— "Dynamo" is in some incomprehensible state. There was preparation, all the players were together and played so casually... There was not a single dangerous moment during the entire game. And at the end of the match, when at least something needs to be shown, Dnipro-1 controls the game. To be honest, I did not expect this at all. It is necessary to do something with the team, because playing like this is not going anywhere.
Besedin didn't have any chances, and also let the player go during the first goal against Dynamo. Lucescu has a vision, but when it's obvious, something needs to change. For example, at least Vanat should play in these matches.
"Dynamo" does not have control of the ball. Only at first did we see anything. Then they failed. Midfield - Kyiv's central triangle was unremarkable. In the third goal, something completely incomprehensible happened - they let it beat twice, turn around, break through. What kind of protection? I think that after this game there will be serious showdowns and Lucescu will draw conclusions. It is necessary for the team to run and play forward, not constantly back and forth.
After 2:0, nobody ran forward. After 3:0 too. It is necessary to return the dynamic character. It feels like the players haven't got into a rhythm where there are no charity matches. It is not possible to enter the field with the thought that we will beat Dnipro-1 just like that. You must be prepared to teach for the full 90 minutes.
— Before the start of the championship, "Dynamo" was considered the favorite. Will the defeat of the Dnipros give cause for reflection?
— We can say that Dnipro-1 will be a competitor in the fight for the championship, just like Shakhtar, which also has problems. In addition, Dynamo also has the Europa League. Probably, it will be necessary to involve almost all young people. If we assume that Dnipro-1 loses to AEK 3:0, and Dynamo loses 3:0 to Dnipro-1, then it becomes alarming. Therefore, it is necessary to urgently talk in a tougher way in the team. There are former players of "white and blue" in the team - can find the right words. Because if you continue to play like this, without desire, there will be no result.
The Kyiv team will play their next match at the Dynamo stadium. Let's see, maybe they will come to their senses by that time. There will be a lot of criticism towards "Dynamo" now. Let them feel what can happen when they lose so clumsily.
