The former goalkeeper of "Dynamo" and "Dnipro" Svyatoslav Syrota commented on the unsuccessful start of the "white and blue" team in the season.
Sviatoslav Sirota— Do you know that Dynamo had the worst start in history?
- I didn't watch the match, but everyone says that he is unlucky. Well, it's okay. We consider Lobanovskyi a genius, he was our best coach. Let's see what place "Dynamo" took, for example, in 1976.
I don't remember now, but I know that after good seasons there was always a downfall. This is natural. Maybe not for Barcelona and Real Madrid, it's a different story there. And that happened to us. Next year will be better.
— What is your general opinion about Lucescu?
- As for the person, I don't know him. They say very different things, and I don't know where the truth is. I do not want to comment and evaluate, because the information is sometimes distorted. Someone said something, then they twisted it. Or maybe he says one thing and means another. Therefore, I do not want to evaluate him as a personality.
As a specialist, his entire history at Shakhtar and Dynamo shows that he is a brilliant coach. Everyone knows that in Shakhtar he worked almost exclusively with foreigners - expensive and high-class. When he was invited to Dynamo, it was obvious that this would not happen here. There are simply no such players, and no one will buy them. It is impossible.
People get used to one thing. For example, there is a pattern of work, and almost everyone has it for coaches. And he carries that pattern from one team to another. The same Mourinho.
Lucescu has shown that he can change himself at his age, his vision of football and adapt to the realities he has in each team. And that's cool. This shows that he is a very talented coach.
Now I can't name the reasons for the bad start. I understand that a small bench, two tournaments and a lot of tension. But it's okay. Next year they will win everything.
