Former Dynamo coach Jozsef Szabo commented on the appointment of Oleksandr Shovkovskyi as acting head coach of Kyiv and the defeat of the White and Blues by Shakhtar.
Jozsef Szabo"The appointment of Shovkovskyi was expected. There are no other candidates at the moment. I hope that the club has reached an agreement with Lucescu and he left without any additional payments or compensation. We need to thank the Mister. He worked in Ukraine for many years and did a lot for our football. Lucescu is a great coach and will remain so. Dynamo failed. There are still unprepared young people. Now the team is psychologically "killed". They have lost so many matches.
Shovkovskyi has his own vision of the training process and the main team. For example, Brazhko at Zorya was different. He has a good shot. Apparently, the coach told him that he had to find moments to shoot, to score more often. At Dynamo, he plays in the middle of the field. Maybe he will take one shot in the whole game, but you need to use this shot more often!
There is still time before the match with Krybas. Sasha is smart, he has been playing football all his life, he understands everything, he is disciplined. I wish him to find an approach to the players. There are youngsters, but we also need experienced players.
I watched the Dynamo vs Shakhtar match carefully, every minute of it. Karavaev had two absolute chances. You need to be braver in football. Who is now circling the ball when they receive a pass? No one does. In England, they even go for two in the final stages. We have nothing. The players walk around as if they are going to fall asleep and often make useless runs. We have forgotten how to shoot on goal. We don't have a player, apart from Brazhko, who can hit the goal well from 20-30 metres.
I expected much more from the game. I thought that there would be more counterattacks, shots on goal, moments, that there would be higher speeds. I didn't get any of that. "Shakhtar were doing something stupid - the players were passing in front of their penalty area in the first half. That's all they did! What kind of football is that? It's good that there were no spectators at the stadium, because football is for the spectators. The new coach said after the match that he didn't know the team well, but Srna knows both Shakhtar and Dynamo very well, and you've been coaching for over a week! If there is such a back-and-forth control of the ball, I don't know what kind of game it is. In the second half, we were livelier, but we did not enjoy the game. Where is the fight, speed, goals scored? Who needs this kind of football? I don't," said Sabo.
