Well-known Ukrainian journalist Artem Frankov spoke about yesterday's Champions League matches.
Artem Frankov“I didn’t believe in the victory of Inter at all - the first serious one of the season, again Barcelona suffered garbage with possession. Lewandowski questions again - this is not Elche for you...
But Napoli is, of course, something special - not only 6:1 in Amsterdam, but also three big out of three (last year's Bayern?)! phenomenon, however. Italy is in full bloom. In the field by the stream).
In general, let's remember: back in the first match of the season, PSV threw five grand to Ajax, showing that they play without defense (Rensch - Timber - Bassey - Blind - even in the Netherlands it won't work everywhere). Now here's Napoli... Especially the Brown Bess (in honor of the famous English gun of the 1722 model) - no way at all. The poster with Cruyff and Maradona looking down from the sky fit the theme - Cruyff probably lit up again after a 30-year break...
As for Club Brugge, it's certainly a medium-sized wonder sculpted by the hands of rookie coach Karl Hoefkens. The most interesting thing is that in the championship the team is by no means so good and plays at least with differences.
Undoubtedly, the Barcelona player, bought on the occasion of Ferrar Zhutgla, sharply strengthened the bears - his contribution is obvious in every match, every attack. Suddenly, Canadian Buchanan is not bad (almost a rookie, debuted in January). Vanaken has always been great, Dynamo remembers. However, at least with Atlético, the Belgians were a little lucky - unused moments at the beginning and end, Griezmann penalty and crossbar, 6:22 on shots! Should end in the next round, in theory. But they have 9 points and 9 points in Africa. And without missed ones!
Again, the contribution of Ukrainians was minimal. Sobol replaced the 19-year-old Dutchman Meyer (newcomer) with the 78th, who tightly ousted him from the squad. Yaremchuk did not go out at all, and, in my opinion, with his size and manners, he does not fit into the small size with the false nine Zhutgla and Owl with Buchanan in the wings. And the most interesting thing is that Brugge has a lot of people who are not involved in any way for various reasons - only attackers Larin, Norwegian Musa (this one came out as a replacement at the end), Dutchman Lang! Veterans Ritz and Former are in the middle, Mata and Boyata are on the defensive... Climb through here. Why did they buy Yaremchuk at all - I have no idea? Is that for a variety of tactics.
And I still managed not to name the hero of previous victories, Skov-Olsen (I think that he should be written with a hyphen - just like Larsen-Elkjaer, Guruceta-Muro or Pisjuan-Muñoz),” Frankov wrote in his telegram channel.
