Famous Ukrainian TV presenter Igor Tsyganik shared his expectations from the "Ukrainian classic" Dynamo vs Shakhtar.
Igor Tsyganik- I'm looking forward to this match because it's very important for Dynamo and, let's be honest, for Lucescu's prospects at Dynamo. Ihor Surkis understands that if there are prospects, if the team can progress, then I think that Lucescu will be able to continue working with Dynamo. If it's hopeless again, well, then it will be clear that the team has reached a dead end and some new drastic changes are definitely needed.
If they say that Shakhtar wins easily, then Shakhtar does not win easily. I watched a few of Shakhtar's matches and I can tell you that there are serious problems there. Look, the team lost points against Chornomorets, defeated Metalist 1-0 with a goal in the last seconds, and pushed Lviv to the limit in the 95th minute. I wouldn't say that Shakhtar did something very, very extravagant on the football field. That's why I don't see Shakhtar's advantage over Dynamo in terms of game moments.
Shakhtar have had a lot going for them this season: goals in the last seconds and minimal victories. But I think that Dynamo Kyiv players will be very motivated, they understand that now is also a very crucial situation for them, because if they play unsuccessfully against Shakhtar, the issue of personnel formation will concern not only the coach - some players may get tickets to leave," Tsyganik said in his author's program.
