Famous coach Oleg Fedorchuk assessed Dynamo's chances of competing for gold medals in the Ukrainian championship.
- "In my opinion, Dynamo is no weaker than Shakhtar or Dnipro-1, but you need a good motivator to play the best you can. With all due respect to Lucescu, at his age it is difficult to get enthusiasm and perseverance out of yourself. The players can feel it. Kucher and Jovicevic are very energetic, they charge their teams. Will they have the strength and ability to reach the finish line first? Let's see: "Dynamo lacks this energy.
We can see from the control matches that Dynamo does not have a clear understanding of who will play the main forward and what the pair of central defenders will be like - these are two key positions. The first two goalkeepers are injured. It is difficult to fight Shakhtar and Dnipro-1 with such problems. I expect to fight for the championship until the last round, as well as for bronze. However, Dynamo is clearly not working hard enough to be as effective as its competitors," the expert is sure.
