Former Dynamo and Ukraine national team midfielder Serhii Kovalets analyzed the situation ahead of the Dynamo-Fenerbahce Europa League group stage match.
"Now, for Ukrainians, every victory in all spheres brings positives to our soldiers. After the results of the drawing of the group round of the Europa League became known, everyone said with one voice that "Dynamo" will make it to the playoffs of the tournament. And in the championship, "white and blue" were predicted to be the main favorite, since the backbone of the team was preserved. But in reality, everything turned out not as expected.
When there is no result, the pressure from the press, the fans starts. Perhaps there is also a misunderstanding in the dressing room. However, I am sure that Dynamo will get out of this crisis.
"Dynamo" beat the Istanbul team in the summer, but now it's a different team. George Jesus brought a European mentality to the Turkish team - Fenerbahce players became more disciplined. It will definitely be a difficult match for Kyiv. But I want to look with optimism. I will bet on a draw - 1:1," Kovalets said.
