Setanta Sports commentator and journalist Ihor Boyko shared his thoughts on Dynamo Kyiv's first match against Besiktas (2-3).

But still - three conceded goals and a defeat. This game was a response to criticism of Dynamo for playing too cautiously against Aris. If you play bold football, all the team's problem areas are exposed. To make the most of the attacking potential, you need to attack with great strength and with a lot of movement, but at the same time, the central defenders must be reliable, carry confidence and not make mistakes.
Buyalsky, Shaparenko, Vanat, Voloshin, Tymchyk and Dubinchak created good movement, and Sydorchuk managed all this with passes from deep. But as soon as the ball was in Dynamo's half, it became immediately clear how weak their legs were. If you're looking for a good pretentious comparison, this Dynamo team is very similar to the classic Arsenal of Wenger's time: you can only rely on attack. Although, of course, there are nuances," Boyko wrote on Telegram.
