Well-known journalist Serhiy Tyshchenko spoke about how Lviv's Karpaty play in the First League.
"Last week, Ingulets won against Karpaty in Lviv. The two leaders of the first league played. Now everyone can beat everyone.
At first glance, there seems to be no big sensation. But in a coaching duel, 37-year-old Vladyslav Lupashko completely outplayed 73-year-old Myron Markevych. In tactical terms, it was a complete fiasco for Karpaty. Everything is toothless, without sharpness, academic. Lupashko built the game as the second number, and it became a nightmare for the opponent. "Ingulets simply took away space, and that was it.
The game of Karpaty reminded me of Mariupol in the days of Ostap Markevych. The same control for the sake of control, academic actions. "Karpaty is a brand, it's quality, not a field for experiments where Ostap Myronovych, having received the authority, learns to coach. With such an approach, no amount of players will bring Karpaty success. The issue of changing the coach is a matter of time. It could be in the summer, before the start of the season, or a crisis in the autumn with all the hardships.
Igor Jovicevic is no stranger to Karpaty. It is clear that the Middle East pays generously, but we need a more stable project. A potential job at Karpaty would be a great opportunity for all parties. The club will get a successful, young coach who is loved by the fans. Jovi himself is a 3-5 year project plus good personal conditions," Serhiy wrote on Telegram.
