Jermaine Lance, former midfielder of Kyiv Dynamo, has told about the work at this club under two coaches - Oleg Blokhin and his successor Serhiy Rebrov.
Jermaine Lance"With Blokhin it was difficult in terms of communication, but he spoke a little English. I could understand him, because football language is not very difficult. Moreover, we had an interpreter, so we understood everything.
In general, Blokhin as a coach was a bit old-fashioned. Then came Serhiy Rebrov, he was modern, he had played in Europe, he knew European mentality, and he was Ukrainian, so he understood all the local players. He managed to bring us together.
It is always a bad sign when coach leaves, but I think that what we got from Rebrov was much more important. "Dynamo became champions twice with him. What is there to talk about? By the way, I am still in touch with him by the way. I wish him only the best and good luck. He is a very good man and a very good coach.
Rebrov communicated with everyone. He was always in the right place at the right time, was the link that this team was missing. He made a connection between the players and the staff.
Does Rebrov have enough quality to work in the top championship? Why not? He speaks English, he understands European style. But in football, you can never say 100%. Maybe he will achieve it one day, maybe not. What I see is that he was in Ukraine, then Hungary, Saudi Arabia. "When you have a career like that, it's not like you're going to reach Juventus or Barcelona or anything like that," Lens said on SportArena's Youtube channel.
