Another failure of "Dynamo" in the European Cups is perceived with irritation, misunderstanding and doom. Oleg Taran, an ex-player of the "white-and-blue" team, has approximately these emotions after the results of yesterday's match between Kyiv and Cyprus. The legendary attacker tried to understand the reasons for the failed season.
Oleg Taran— The result on the scoreboard and in the table... It speaks for itself.
- The last place in the not the most difficult group of the Europa League - does it hurt to realize this fact?
— Of course it hurts. And what are you doing? Where is "Dynamo" in the Ukrainian Premier League? At 10 or a bit higher? When was the last time this happened? Look even at yesterday's game, which goals we conceded. From the central zone, for which the tall central defenders Syrota and Zabarny are responsible. In Ukraine, they are made stars, but at the level of Cyprus, they cannot meet basic playing qualities. It was very unpleasant to see such things. These are the players of the Ukrainian national team!
- Don't you think that Ilya is regressing?
— You know, this is no longer a regression. We see his level. Remember when Dynamo had good legionnaires. Accordingly, the level of football was high. And now, without classy foreigners, Ukrainian football players are getting a chance. And now we see that they can. Fourth place in the Europa League group. Who is there among the rivals? AEK?
— Also Fenerbahce and Rennes.
- They can't even beat the Cypriots. Although there are good footballers there - and a lot of legionnaires. The price for our players is inadequate. Remember when they talked about 30 million pounds for Zabarny? Who is distributing it?
— Dynamo leader Viktor Tsygankov did not look like himself yesterday.
— Well, not just yesterday. And before too. The problem is that our players cannot set a price for themselves.
— Denys Garmash scored a double against AEK, Kyiv scored 3 goals for the second time this season. However, the problems in attack are huge?
— Is Harmash the attacker? Denis is a great football player. But how old is he already? And at the same time, he plays better in attack for Besedin. The question should be asked to the management.
- A small positive after the results of yesterday's match - 20-year-old Vladyslav Vanat scored his debut goal in the European Cup. Do you believe in this guy's bright future?
— Vanat is much more interesting, more technical and faster than Besedin. And his football mentality is high-quality. As for me, Besedin is already everything. I understand him - I also had such a serious injury at one time. It is very difficult to return to the field after such. Therefore, I believe that Vanat should always be trusted - the future is behind him, let him gain knowledge and experience.
— Yesterday we finally saw two Legionnaires: Kahim Parris and Samba Diallo. They didn't have much time, but they added sharpness up front. Can they strengthen Dynamo in the future?
— I liked these players. However, I don't know the inner kitchen - why didn't the trainer put them in earlier? It's already the 5th round, the game doesn't really decide anything. Why not trust? What does Lucescu risk? Well, what? Stop by and check it out. Give guys a chance if you see that others are not pulling. I do not understand this. It seems that he is holding on to this contract, for Dynamo Kyiv. Well, if there is no result? Say, "I'm raising my hands and that's it."
— The Dynamo coach often looks for reasons for failures in difficult training and game conditions. But Shakhtar and SC Dnipro-1 are also in a similar situation.
— Only the weak can say that. Moves, circumstances... I know Lucheska, so I just don't pay attention.
— Do the interim results indicate that Dynamo needs drastic changes?
- Maybe there are problems in the club. Only the president can tell about it. Logically, if he will not tolerate it in general. Therefore, journalists and fans judge on the basis of insiders and draw their own conclusions. No one knows the truth. And the truth stands between truth and lies. It's hard to tell who's right and who's wrong. This time must be experienced. Analyze mistakes and fight for first place in the championship of Ukraine. Let these footballers prove their level. First of all, to yourself. Aren't they free to play? Practice and validate ambitions.
— What if everything doesn't work out?
— So it is necessary to submit for a transfer. Let them play in Lithuania or Poland. Where do they want to play? The time has come. Either the coach, or the football players, or all together. Let Vorskla and Zorya lose in the European Cups... But "Dynamo" is a brand of Ukrainian football. You can't play like that.
