Well-known Ukrainian coach Yuriy Bakalov talks about the victory of Dynamo Kyiv over Kryvbas Kryvyi Rih (3:1) in today's match of the 10th round of the Ukrainian Championship.
Yuri Bakalov- "Dynamo" finally won a landslide victory in the championship of Ukraine...
- Only by the score, not by the game... I don't notice the exit of the people of Kiev from the crisis yet. Dynamo is very difficult, and I don't mean the physical condition of the team. It is difficult to say what exactly is happening with Dynamo. I think their coaches will figure out what's what.
As for the game with Kryvbas, Dynamo took good advantage of the opponent's gross mistakes. You can't make such mistakes in the match against Dynamo... I was personally pleased that Vanat scored. But in the defense of the people of Kiev there are significant problems that have not gone away. If Kryvbas has so many chances, especially after set pieces, then what can we say about other rivals... Set pieces this season are a real mockery of the White-Blues. The victory will certainly improve Dynamo's mood and, perhaps, become the starting point for a more successful end of the year.
— What can you say about the new legionnaires from Kiev — Perris and Lonveik?
— I like their game. In particular, they were very useful in the match against Kryvbas. You can feel the good level of both performers. As for Lonwijk, he is a football player who can play with one touch and constantly demonstrates it, in addition, he sees the field well.
Of course, these guys need some period of adaptation. The coach is not his own enemy - he will not keep legionnaires in reserve, capable of deciding the fate of any duel. If they were 100% ready, they would go out in the starting lineup, but for now Mircea Lucescu is slowly bringing them to the main clip.
- Will Dynamo have at least some motivation in the match of the final round of the Champions League against Fenerbahce?
- Since there is no tournament motivation, then you need to fight for points in the European Cup standings of Ukraine. Dynamo players need to slam the door, defend the honor of a club that has a name in Europe, support the brand.
