Renowned commentator Ihor Tsyganik shared his expectations of Dynamo's performance in the Ukrainian league in the second part of the season.
"Shakhtar have started to buy players again, while Dynamo have relied on the pupils of their own Academy. I think this is the right thing to do at this stage.
Under Shovkovskyi, Dynamo is gaining points. This is the most important thing. Yes, there is a certain amount of luck, but it is important that a young team that is under pressure shows results. And they are showing them under Shovkovskyi. You need to win all the time. Remember, last season they were "pulled" here in the first match with Ingulets, they lost and "sailed".
The main advantage now is the return of Yarmolenko. I hope he plays the spring part of the season, because he makes a difference. If he is healthy and plays, I give Dynamo a good chance of being first. Kabaev should also show his level, he is an experienced player. I also have high hopes for Voloshin.
Mikhavko: He can play and progress. He has a very good attitude in the team, but the question is whether the head coach will take such a risk. If you play a young player, you take responsibility, and if you play an experienced player, they also take responsibility.
As for football without spectators, it is perceived differently. There is no progress. Footballers must understand who they are playing for, who they are doing it for. They have to play for the fans who come to watch them. I am in favour of the fans definitely returning to the stands," Tsyganik said on the Dynamo Kyiv club channel.
