Ex-coach of "Dynamo" and the national team of Ukraine Yozhef Szabo thinks about the victory of Kyiv over "Rukh" in the sixth round of the UPL (3:0).
Joseph Szabo— "Dynamo" is stronger, no matter what. The team played well, made fewer gross mistakes, realized their moments. For "Rukh" it was a home game, but they did not get any advantage from it - "Dynamo" took three points without any particular problems. What will happen next? In the international arena, we are still weak, but in the championship of Ukraine "Dynamo" will catch up with the leaders.
— Why didn't Mircea Lucescu give the newcomers a chance to play?
— He has 15-16 players and he works with them. He doesn't take any chances. The team started to win in the championship and Lucescu does not want to lose points. He has a squad and only changes a few players - rests someone. With the French, there will be a different line-up. I think Lucescu will replace three or four players.
— Popov remained in the reserve after the game with Rennes...
— After making a mistake, it remains in stock for now. I don't know if he will continue to play at all... He now needs to be supported, brought back to normal. I have already said that he cannot be mounted now. I don't know what kind of psychological state he is in, but it would be very difficult for any player after such a mistake.
— There were talks that "Dynamo" and "Shakhtar" will play in England or in Poland, but, nevertheless, the game will take place in Lviv...
- Talking about the game in England is kind of nonsense. Lviv is a good city to host such a match. The game should be interesting. Regardless of what Shakhtar is doing now, I am sure that Dynamo will give the Miners a fight in this match.
