Well-known manager and expert Vyacheslav Zakhovailo shared his conclusions on the results of the first play-off match of the Conference League qualification round between Dynamo Kyiv and Turkish Besiktas (2:3), which took place yesterday in Bucharest.
"Negative result, but I liked the content of Dynamo's game. Noticed the chemistry in some areas. I mean the game in front of the opponent's penalty area. Vanat blended well into the structure of the game.
In defence the problems remained at the same level. A lot of positional deficiencies. Anthropometry does not allow Kyivians to play reliably at standard positions at their goal. It is very obvious. Lack of athleticism of some players allows the opponent to have an advantage.
We should take into account that we played against an experienced team, equipped with quality performers.
The guys should be praised, they gave their best. But this is football. And at this level, one mistake can decide the outcome of the match. In Turkey there are chances to win back, there are prerequisites, we can see that the Turks are not in optimal form. Tactically, the return match will be easier. The stands will drive Besiktas into attack. I hope that Dynamo will be able to take advantage of it.
The structure and principles of game organisation have not changed. Lucescu simply has no choice. It is impossible to build an attacking style without quality performers. The bet on the youth is logical. Let's hope that the youth will open up. Yarmolenko was missing today," Zakhovailo wrote on his Facebook page.
