The youth team "Dynamo" could not beat "Rukh" (0:0). For Kyiv, the victory over the Rohivians was extremely important in the light of the fight for the championship and a guaranteed ticket to the UEFA Youth League.
Samba DialloSamba Diallo was supposed to be one of the trump cards of Ihor Kostyuk's team. The Senegalese winger returned to the team after a long stay in the youth national teams of his country. But Sambi didn't show anything today. His opponent, Ahn Kitela, almost gave the Senegalese nothing to do. I'm sure that Kitel's last name means nothing to Kyiv fans...
I believe that Samba Diallo has no worse potential than Mykhailo Mudryk. The same good speed qualities, dribbling at speed, there is a shot. He could potentially become a first-team leader and a major asset to the club. You just need to use its strengths. Diallo needs space where he can play one-on-one. In Mircea Lucescu, insiders play on the flanks, who, in a positional attack, move to the center and give freedom to the wing defenders. In this kind of football, Samba has the same benefit as Mudrik. The Ukrainian's matches for Chelsea confirm this. Kukurelya or Chilwell should give width.
Samba announced himself in the fall of 2021, but he never played for the first team. With all flanking problems. It is not very believable that something will change under Mirchi in this matter. Accordingly, a football player's emotional state and motivation cannot be good a priori.
Inside is not just Samba's problem. For the same reason, Voloshyn and Parris are not trusted. Nothing works for Kabaev. They are more used to playing as wing forwards, but the requirements are different now. Therefore, conditional Shepelev or Garmash on the flank is a priority.
This is football. One coach suits you, the other doesn't. It is necessary to work. Mudryk didn't have it all right at first either. Fonseca kicked out of training. Kashtru did not see him in the lineup. They were sent to Arsenal, which is not at all understandable. Mykhailo did not break down and worked on himself. He needed a coach who would open him up and see his potential. Everything worked out with De Derby. So Samba needs to work on himself. And it will be seen later.
A football player cannot successfully play in a club when he has hardly been in the team's location for two months. You will not make a breakthrough in your club career while in the national team. Samba went to his homeland back in February. Came back a week and a half ago. Today's game against "Rukh" was about how weak the performance of the Senegalese was.
I understand Samba's agent Vadym Vasiliev, who is interested in Diallo's performances in the Senegal national team's various age tournaments. After the victory of the U-20 team, he can still go to the U-23 national team. There are hundreds of scout eyes. All this can lead to a big transfer and earnings. But Samba is now needed in Kyiv. He is already 20 years old. He should already grow in class and have a club career, and not spend the second year in the promising ones. The second part of the season at the club level will simply fall out. We are not talking about the first team. Samba can't particularly help youth now.
I understand that there are FIFA regulations on national and youth team players. If there is a challenge, it should be released. But these issues are all being resolved. Especially against the backdrop of Africa. Those who need to be enlightened are called out. Who needs not to be called, then he stays in the club.
Samba now has a big team and a good personal contract. He no longer needs to show himself to the scouts. It is necessary to think how to repeat the path of the Wise and bring benefit and money to the current team. These are the questions the agent and the player should be concerned with first and foremost.
