Dynamo Kyiv head coach Mircea Lucescu commented on the Profootball Digital game with Kolos (0:0).
Mircea Lucescu (right)- We only earned a point ... Because after the removal it was already difficult to play. We dominated, but the opponent played defensively and went into quick counterattacks. In the first half, they only sat on the defensive, and we didn’t play fast enough, made the wrong decisions when playing in attack, and therefore we couldn’t score. Instead of hitting, they tried to get the ball into the goal or shoot it. And "Kolos" saturated the middle and the defenders fought off all the passes and crosses. Moreover, the goalkeeper caught the courage.
Kolos showed its strongest points: aggressiveness and organization of the game in defense. Plus a lot of fouls, what they can do. Unfortunately, the judge did not always react to this. At the end of the match, when we were in the minority, he launched dangerous counterattacks in our direction three times without fixing fouls. There have always been problems with this referee, because his understanding of the game and his refereeing method do not correspond to football fair play.
I knew that after two defeats of Kolos, where there were refereeing mistakes, penalties, today the sympathy of the referees would be on their side. So I protested emotionally. He did not fix fouls against us near the penalty area, but gave us free throws no closer than forty meters from the goal. And the fouls were very aggressive, they naturally needed to be whistled. But this does not mean that we should not have beaten the opponent. We had to score.
— Longwijk moment — key?
- We have already lost four points in approximately the same conditions. Last time Karavaev played incorrectly, now Justin. This is part of football.
