Well-known Ukrainian journalist Artem Frankov told what he thinks about the prospects of Dynamo Kyiv in the match of the 4th round of the Europa League group stage with the French Rennes, which will be held today in Krakow.
"Revenge? Revenge! Only this way and not differently. The first match showed that it is not only necessary, but also possible to play with Rennes - the situation unfolded too sharply during the first half, when Tsygankov answered Terrier's goal ... And if it weren't for Popov's damned mistake, if only! If.
Of course, the position of Dynamo is complicated by the injury of Denis Boyko. This is already the second goalkeeper of the team after Georgiy Bushchan, lost this season, and willy-nilly, they will have to bet on Ruslan Neshcheret. Well, God grant him confidence, and he has enough skill. I really hope that what happened will not affect the game and the result, especially since the team is not the first to solve such problems. Defenders! Don't leave your keeper to chance. The defenders don't hear...
Much more important is the already familiar absence of Nikolai Shaparenko, which is why the already lame construct of the team, its attacking actions, hobble. But at the same time, Dynamo has obvious progress after the pause for the national teams, as evidenced by the 3-0 victory over Rukh Lviv in the last round of the Ukrainian championship. I continue to consider the defeat against Rennes, as well as against Fenerbahce, as a senseless accident, the result of literally a second deconcentration of specific players. I believe that the conclusions were drawn, although reality shows that this disgrace haunts the team with unenviable constancy.
Unfortunately, the opponent is very strong and, even worse, is gaining form during the season. In the last round of the French Championship, Rennes defeated Nantes 3-0 and climbed to 6th place with 18 points, obviously looking closely at the group of leaders located nearby. There is no need to talk about the injured players of the “base” (Omar? And who is that?!) in the northern French team, it is in full combat readiness, and its composition is exclusively the rotational decision of Bruno Genesio. Keep Martin Terrier - he is in excellent shape, although without him there is someone to score, "Frankov said.
