Sergiy Lavrynenko: "There is not such a big distance between Shovkovskiy and the players, as it was in Lucescu's case".

Former head coach of Veres Rovno Serhiy Lavrynenko shared his opinion on the changes that took place at Dynamo Kyiv with the appointment of Oleksandr Shovkovskiy as the team's head coach.

"Dynamo players started to play more relaxed. We cannot say that they have something changed in their skills, but they have become more confident. Besides, Shaparenko came back after the injury. It is very difficult without such a player, he is a creative footballer, who gives the team a lot in attack.

Perhaps, there is not such a big distance between Shovkovskiy and the players, as it was in Lucescu's case. There are more friendly relations. Lucescu is a more pragmatic, tough and despotic coach. And now it does not really go well with young people. Now authoritarian coaches in world football are being relegated to the background: they cannot find a common language with young people. Mourinho is a vivid example of this," Lavrynenko said on the air of Youtube channel "TaToTake".
