Former Dynamo Kyiv midfielder and now a famous Ukrainian coach Sergiy Kovalets shared his impressions of the match of the 18th matchday of the Ukrainian championship between Kharkiv Metalist 1925 and Dynamo Kyiv (2:4), which took place last Sunday in the capital.
- Thevictory of Dynamo over Metalist 1925, along with the loss of points by the Pitmen ("Alexandria" - "Shakhtar" - 0:0 - ed.) reminded again that nothing is clear in the rivalry for the championship in the current season. Is it?
- One hundred per cent. I have already once said that I personally would like to have another champion in this championship. Not Dynamo or Shakhtar, but Dnipro-1, Kryvbas, Polesie, or Oleksandriya, or Chornomorets. It would give a good motivation for club presidents. And especially in our hard time, when, despite the war, we can play football.
If we talk about the match "Metalist 1925" - "Dynamo", the new Kharkiv head coach Viktor Skrypnyk had little time to prepare the team. There was a very big rotation: many players left, many new ones came.
In this match I would like to mention Dynamo. After the Kyivians conceded the ball, they showed aggressive football in terms of attack, ball control.
