The well-known manager and expert Vyacheslav Zahovoylo assessed for 1927.kiev.ua the second match of "Dynamo" at the Turkish meeting against "Maribor" (0:2).
— Kyivans try different variations with the composition. In the first half, the youth came out, in the second, the players are closer to the base. It is already more or less clear what will happen in "Dynamo" in the spring. Let's just say it's not good at the moment. Lack of creativity.
Who will win the competition and play the wings is hard to say. Who will play in the center of attack is more or less clear. Vanat has good data, but in order for him to play in all his glory, we must have a completely different midfield triangle. It is also clear to the one who will play in the center of the field - there are no other players. And on the edges in defense there is competition.
It is obvious that there are no athletic players in "Dynamo". All are short. This is a problem of still young breeding. Kyivans will lose in height to almost everyone. Especially European clubs.
For big tasks, Kyiv has no chance - this is the Champions League. For the Europa League, the chances are minimal. In the Conference League, the "white and blue" can compete for some points. In the championship of Ukraine, I don't see why Dynamo can beat Dnipro-1 or Shakhtar. At least at this point.
Our young people do not pull. They are not ready. More "raw". Breeding at the sports school is time to finish with the "light cavalry". This is not the biggest problem, but it is something to be aware of. In general, this is a frequent case in UPL. I know many short football players, but they compensated for this by the fact that it was extremely difficult for them to win the ball. Ours are still "raw". The ball "doesn't stick" to them.
On the other hand, they need to be given time to get in shape and reach their optimal conditions. It is clear that everyone is "on their feet", but such a team as Dynamo Kyiv should be built for the Champions League. Yes, now are difficult times - few people want to go to the UPL, but before there were many cries to bet on their youth. What happened? At the level of youth football, they play, and in adult football they get lost. We praise too much and give a lot of advances to young players. As a result, Tsygankov moves to "Girona" and sits in the reserve. He is not even allowed to play five minutes in the match against Barcelona," Zahowailo said.
