The first part of this season cannot be credited to the Kyiv "Dynamo". Mircea Lucescu's team failed to qualify for the Champions League group stage, took the last place in the Europa League group, and in the Ukrainian championship is still fifth in the UPL standings. On November 17, the White-Blues will play the missed match of the 1st round - against Ingulets, a victory in which will allow them to reach the third place. Give a quick assessment of the performance of the people of Kiev Footboom asked the ex-player and coach of Dynamo Leonid Buryak.
Leonid BuryakAbout the season
- I don't remember such a difficult season in the history of Dynamo. I know that the team's summer preparation was quite difficult, and this affected their further performances, especially after the Champions League qualification. Shakhtar went this way more successfully - those players who left the team were replaced by players who returned to the UPL.
About the game
- I was sure, and still hold the opinion, that Dynamo's game will stabilize after the completion of their performance in European competitions. This is what is happening now. The "White-Blues" returned to Kyiv, moving and staying away from home became a thing of the past. Players and coaching staff can now come to their senses and focus on improving the game. And this has already had a positive effect on the results - important victories were won over Kryvbas, Chornomorets and Oleksandriya, and only the defense of Kolos could not be broken. An important match with Ingulets is ahead - the people of Kiev need to take three points.
About personnel
- As for the work of Mircea Lucescu, it will be evaluated by the president of Dynamo Kyiv, Igor Surkis. In a couple of weeks there will be a pause in the season, and then the time will come to analyze the game and draw certain conclusions. Of course, some of the players will leave the team, which now has 4-5 nominal leaders, but only one really plays...
