Kiev "Dynamo" can not get out of the crisis. Problems in the championship were added to the problems in the Europa League. A disastrous start, then Mircea Lucescu's team deservedly lost to Shakhtar, and in the next round they could not defeat one of the outsiders - Vorskla. There is no certainty that in the next round of the UPL, the Kyivans will be able to defeat Kryvbas or cope with AEK and be able to reach the Conference League.
Photo: fcdynamo.comIn a recent interview, Igor Surkis expressed full confidence in Lucescu and stated that the Romanians would work as long as they wanted and leave as a winner, and there would be personnel changes in the winter. You need to take it easy. Do you want to hear criticism of the head coach from the club president? The Dynamo boss publicly supports each team coach in crisis situations. Nobody knows the position of Lucescu, who in the current realities may not be able to cope with the situation. We don't forget about Mircea's age and that the team's problems don't go away and only get bigger.
How to get out of this situation? Let's figure it out.
Trust in Lucescu
Mircea Lucescu is an experienced coach who knows the players and the problems of the team well. You need to let the mentor work calmly during this season. At the end of November, the first round of the championship will end. There isn't much time left. Then there will be almost a month of rest in December. The opportunity to work with the team in January-February at the training camp. There are not so many prospects to stay in European competitions in the spring, so there will be more time for preparation.
During this time, you can pull up newcomers - Perris and Lohnwijk. Work on strengthening the team. First of all, over the acquisition of a forward. A little young people will grow up during this time. There will also be an opportunity to shed excess ballast in order to become a combat-ready team in the spring. Then there may be a completely different story and a different state of competitors.
sacrifice the season
There are no real chances for a championship this season yet. Something incredible must happen for Dynamo to return to its level and competitors to start losing points. It is possible not to defeat Vorskla, lose to Zorya, Dnipro-1 even without Sidorchuk and Tsygankov, relying on the youth, which should replace the current leaders.
Why not sacrifice the season for the sake of betting on young players? Yatsik shows great promise in the youth team. He is definitely more promising than Shepelev and Andrievsky. In the end, Diallo and Vanat must reveal their potential. Must sometime start playing Pain, Tsarenko.
Tsygankov's thoughts are no longer in Ukraine. In winter, you can get at least some money for it. Something globally, his departure for Dynamo will not change now. If a person does not want to play, does not see himself in a team, let a more motivated player play in his place. With the appropriate offer, Zabarny should be released in favor of Bol. Say goodbye to Kendzera, constantly play on this position of Tymchik and do not forget about Kravchenko.
In order to work with young people, you don't need a coach of Lucescu's caliber. Igor Kostyuk has been working in the club’s system for more than one year, all young players have passed through his hands. Here it is - a chance in adult football. If it works out, then Dynamo will get a coach, if not, then the players will get experience.
Acting
Let's imagine that Lucescu can't stand it and leaves. The experienced Romanian is tired of constant moving and understands that he has lost control over the team. Somehow you need to play.
There is a lot of talk about the return of Sergei Rebrov to the club. But he has a contract in the Middle East until the summer. Breaking the deal will be very, very expensive. The coach will not go to such expenses and Igor Surkis will not be able to support him.
Ok, then until the summer, someone can take over, until Rebrov completes work with Al Ain. It could be someone from the orbit of Sergei Stanislavovich like Vicente Gomez, or appoint Yuri Maximov. Yuri Vilyevich may not be a great tactician, but he is definitely a good motivator. He can keep the team, he knows how to work well with the young. At one time, he gave way to big football to Boyko, Morozyuk, in Poltava - Reznik, Chelyadin.
Search for a foreigner
It is clear that in the current conditions it will be very difficult to lure a foreign specialist to Ukraine. But one should not think that it is impossible. Foreigners work at Shakhtar and Zorya. For both clubs, such mentors are still very suitable.
And for Dynamo, you can find a coach abroad who sees the potential of this team. Potentially the number one candidate is Nenad Bielica, who is now out of a job. Bielica was already among the candidates in 2020, but then the choice fell on Lucescu.
The Croatian showed himself very well while working with Dynamo Zagreb. I was able to take the team to the Champions League, develop young players. Nenad's last experience with Osijek was unsuccessful. Nothing happened. Now the Croatian is looking for a new challenge.
Do not forget that Bielica was not only successful in Croatia and had a hand in the sale of Dani Olmo for 35 million to Leipzig, but also successfully worked in Poland, where he made Lech the national champion.
Bielica has a very good reputation in Croatia. Under his name, selection work can be carried out. The players will go to Nenad. Let's not forget that when Bielica worked with the first team of Dinamo Zagreb, Igor Jovićević was only a youth coach. Having led the first team with the same players, Igor was dismissed very quickly.
Thus, Igor Surkis has several options for getting out of the crisis. We will soon see which of them the Dynamo president will choose.
Sergei TISHCHENKO
