Former Dynamo Kyiv forward Oleh Salenko shared his thoughts with 1927.kiev.ua about the team's 1-0 victory over Dnipro-1.
Oleg Salenko- The game was mediocre. It can be noted that football without a spectator is completely different. Nevertheless, Dynamo took advantage of an opposing player's mistake, which can be removed from the lineup. Giving such a pass to the exit is a very gross mistake. Kyiv managed to defend this achievement. They could have scored on the counterattack. Still, one moment made the game. Perhaps some people in Dnipro-1 thought they were already champions.
- How would you assess the actions of the Kyiv forwards?
- None of the strikers proved themselves in this match: Vanat, Ramirez and Dovbyk, among others. There were no individual actions from them. They did not show themselves in any way.
- "Did Dynamo play for the win?
- Although I predicted that Kyiv would minimally beat Dnipro-1, there was nothing good about this match. A lot of fouls, a lot of losses. The teams tried to play at speed, but no one managed to control the ball. "I didn't like the idea of 'kick forward and we'll figure it out' the most. This is no longer soccer. There is a lot of "hit and run". We are waiting for a coach who will bring the ball down - all the Dynamo veterans are talking about this. So far, we are waiting. We have players who can keep the ball in the center of the field...
- How would you rate the refereeing in the match?
- I get tired of discussing the referees' mistakes after every match. The reaction to such a blow should have been tougher. This is for sure. One thing I would like to say to Buyalsky: you are a professional, your team won, you shouldn't earn such red cards.
- Who will replace Vitaliy in the match against Zorya?
- I constantly follow the U-19 matches because my son plays there. Let Buyalsky replace Tsarenko. I really want to see him in the starting lineup for this match.
