Sergiy Tyshchenko's column. How many goals will Supryaga score in the spring?

In the match against Metalist-1925, Dynamo forward Vladyslav Supryaha made an assist. The striker threw the ball with his head during a corner to Maksym Dyachuk. I don't remember the last time Vlad made a goal on the football field.

Supryaha's main problem is psychology. At a young age, they began to mould him into a "new Shevchenko". Then, at Dynamo, they immediately began to expect an effective and successful game. Agents decided that he was ready to play in the top championship when he hadn't done anything at the UPL level. His personal life went public. His father and brother ended up in the Armed Forces.

Vlad was constantly expected to do something and had to prove himself. He began to jump the stages of development. Everyone was thinking about their own interests, but not about the possibilities of Supryaha. All this led to the fact that the talented striker was completely lost. A series of injuries, loss of self-confidence. First, he was turned into a super-talent, and then a super-failure.

Artem Dovbyk had a similar situation at one time. He was given large advances, but he could not confirm them in any way. He had a very unsuccessful trip to Denmark. After that, they didn't really count on him anymore. "Mitjylland, which works in conjunction with the English club Brentford, is considered a club where they know how to feel the player's potential. It was not so much the return to Dnipro that changed everything, but the work with Igor Jovicevic. The Croatian coach is a very good psychologist and motivator. He restored Artem's self-confidence and he shone.

Oleksandr Shovkovskyi is just as good a psychologist and motivator. He knows how to work well with players and their psychology. Maksym Dyachuk didn't look confident at all, he made a lot of mistakes. Now there are much fewer mistakes, and he even scored a goal. Oleksandr Syrota has become a completely different player. Vlad Kabaev scored for Dynamo for the first time. Volodymyr Shepelev, Oleksandr Tymchyk... The players started to believe in themselves more.

I really hope that Shovkovskyi will return all the confidence to Supryaza. He will help him understand himself and mentally become a different person. Now Vlad doesn't need big goals, he just needs to move step by step from simple things - no injuries, playing time and goals scored. In winter, there will be an opportunity to work. At the moment, Benito (who is always in the team) and Matvey Ponomarenko deserve to get much more playing time in the first team than Supryaga. But Shovkovskyi shows confidence in Supryaha. He gives him opportunities. I am sure that Mircea Lucescu would never do this and would have postponed everything until the winter training camp.

There is no other way out. Supryaga hasn't had any success lately. No one would be interested in his transfer. Plus, his salary is not low. "Dynamo needs to reanimate the once-talented striker. There is great hope for Shovkovskyi.
