- He has minimal faith in the success of Kyiv. In fact, the mathematical chances look even worse than the impression from the first match. It is worth recalling that after the previous match, both rivals did not play - they postponed matches in their national championships.
"In the first game, Salzburg demonstrated cohesion, resilience and a good average level of all players. There was nothing extraordinary in the Austrians' actions. By the way, they do not choke with total pressure, but they know how to turn it on in a timely manner.
"Dynamo had a good half-hour period in the first 30 minutes. Then we had to score and build on that. As for the mistakes of the central defenders, they should rather be considered a planned risk. Oleksandr Shovkovskyi wanted exactly this kind of performance from his players, hoping that the disadvantages would outweigh the advantages. It happened the other way around, although often the sharp advances of the central defenders ate up the opponent.
With a strong opponent, Oleksandr Karavayev's shortcomings also came out, and Andriy Yarmolenko did not show his class at important moments. We failed to use Vladyslav Vanat well. I am sure that Kyiv can create problems for the opponent, but will not go further. The bet is on goals from both teams," Morales said.
