The former captain of the Ukrainian national team, Serhii Diryavka, shared with Team 1 expectations from the Cypriot match between Dynamo and AEK.
— It's no secret that "Dynamo" is in a crisis right now, and this crisis, in my opinion, is in the locker room. I think that Mircea Lucescu also gives such tasks to football players, which they cannot fulfill at the moment. What, for example, I have in mind: if you remember the goal that Popov scored in the match with Rennes, then everyone pounced on him. But it was a miscalculation by the coaching staff. Denys is not strong on the ball, and he was often poked, in addition, he also acted in the unusual position of the left central defender. In my opinion, he was simply framed.
The team really misses Shaparenko. "Dynamo" generally has a problem with performers who lead the game, move the ball forward qualitatively. Sydorchuk? He's a defensive midfielder, he slows down the game, but that's his style. Buyalsky alone is not enough. Taking into account all these factors, it is necessary to develop a plan for the match with AEK so that the players can implement it. These are my opinions, and I in no way impose anything on anyone. And the psychological state of the team will be very important. Each game is a manifestation of skill and professionalism. And if football players enter the field with the idea that there is simply nowhere to retreat, you need to get all your reserves out of yourself, then victory will surely come. In the class, the Dynamo team is not inferior to its rival, the expert noted.
