Viktor Leonenko, ex-Dynamo Kyiv forward, spoke about yesterday's control match of his former team against Swiss Young Boys (3:3).
Viktor Leonenko"In the first half it was striking that Dynamo players let the opponent cling to the ball very easily. Well, Young Boys players also ran in well. And not only the halves, but also the defenders.
Now about Dynamo. I think that the best player in the first half is, of course, Tymchyk. What caught my eye is the way Tymchyk runs from the middle zone to the flank and from there gives a pass. What should Yarmolenko do in these conditions? He plays beautifully with his heels and talks to the referees. And Tymchyk was so active that Yarmolenko, in fact, was not visible. Only in some episodes. Well, this is enough.
In general, I liked everything about Dynamo's game in the first half. Very cheerful and interesting half.
In the second half, I understood that the rain started to cool down our team. And I must say that those players, who came on as substitutes, were much weaker than those who played in the first half. They are not ready to play for Dynamo yet
As for the third goal conceded by Dynamo, in that episode our defenders played either with a gap or simply did not fight. That's why we conceded.
In general, the second half was much sadder than the first. Moreover, many times. And the players were sadder, frankly speaking. After such a good first half, we would have liked something more. But instead - lack of chances. Lednev could have thought of something in one episode, but he hesitated, did not know what to do.
What do you play? Squares? I'm not even talking about the fact that they can't stop the ball. Mistakes and mistakes, as always, a lot. But there are still two weeks to prepare, so there's nothing to worry about. But if I were those who came on as substitutes today, I would think about it. And Lucescu has something to think about," Leonenko said in the podcast of his TV channel.
