Well-known manager and expert Vyacheslav Zakhovailo shared his impressions of the first match of the 3rd qualifying round of the Champions League between Dynamo Kyiv and Scottish Rangers (1:1), which took place yesterday in Lublin.
"The Kyivians are beginning to spoil my taste. The result is a draw, but there is a fact: the Scots "bounced back".
The organization of the game in the work of Oleksandr Shovkovskiy is increasingly beginning to be clear to me. From game to game I see progress. I like the structure of Bild-app, transition phases, especially the formation of triangles on the right flank of the Kiev attack. Karavaev-Pikhalenok-Yarmolenko, with Vanat's connection to the right - it looks convincing.
There are, of course, some remarks. In the transitional phase of the game, from attack to defense. It is noticeable that Shaparenko does not have time to switch to defensive actions, coming into the tackle facing his own goal. This is a problem. This is the only thing I can charge Mykola with. Otherwise, he looks good.
The best player of the match, for me, is young Mikhavko. Great debut. I spit three times so I don't jinx it.
The return match? Everything will depend on how the players can recover. I think that Dynamo will be tactically more comfortable in Glasgow. If we don`t make any stupid mistakes, we`ll be lucky.
Good luck to everyone. Glory to Ukraine!", - wrote Zakhovailo on his page in the social network Facebook.
