Well-known journalist Artem Frankov expressed his opinion about the defeat of Dynamo in the match of the 2nd round of the group round of the Europa League from AEK.
“The talk about the unexpected and complete inability of Dynamo to break any reliable, disciplined defense is clearly beyond the scope of a report, an article, and even an issue of Football, especially since a lot has already been said about this in the editorial and on the YouTube channel. As well as about other "exploits" of the Ukrainian giant, who suffered his sixth defeat in the last seven matches...
Absence of Bushchan, Shaparenko and Popov? Yes, losses, although I’m not sure that Buschan would have pulled exactly this tasty Gyurcho kick from a free kick (however, you can’t leave aside Boyko’s tendency to concede just such goals - pay attention to how rare they are lately, these are not corners for you! ).
Creativity of Dynamo was limping on both legs even under Shaparenko, two hits in the plane in a match sometimes acted as an unattainable dream. Similarly, the defense was no less mistaken when Popov was healthy (this is still a combination of Zabarny - Burda they didn’t try! Or I missed something ...). How did the return of Besedin and Vanat help? In a word, the team gives the impression of being frankly dismantled and uncontrollable, forcing them to shed crocodile tears when trying to answer the question "How can Dynamo play stronger at this stage?!"
Of course, the game was faster 0:0 or 1:1, all the more a good goal by Buyalsky was canceled only because of a tiny “fuori joko” from Dubinchak during the combination. But there was nothing else - that's where the dog rummaged, that's where the main weakness of the team! The endless hustle and bustle of intermittent possession of the ball (as in this match) - who needs that control if you don't shoot on goal and show an extreme inability to simply enter the opponent's penalty area? Where fresh thoughts about standards are capable of confounding any defense - without this, it is generally impossible to survive in modern football...
And there are many more such questions than it should be. Almost all the pluses cannot be said to be so unexpectedly replaced by minuses. Links to the war no longer work - firstly, they themselves showed that they can play in extreme positions, where did it go; secondly, how do others play? The current Dynamo is a complete anti-advertisement both to itself and to individual players who can pout like a mouse on rump on anyone, but diligently reduce the likelihood of their transition somewhere to the obese West.
Well, maybe a pause for the national teams will benefit the people of Kiev. I really hope for this in every sense - physical and psychological fatigue, some kind of internal anguish and irritation. In short, enough words - defeats, the results speak for themselves and say very bad words. And there are two matches ahead with Rennes - that’s another gift, ”Frankov wrote in the 13th issue of the Football magazine.
