Famous manager and expert Vyacheslav Zakhovailo shared his impressions of the match of the 1st round of the main stage of the Europa League between Dynamo Kyiv and Lazio Rome (0:3), which took place yesterday in Hamburg.
"I don't know about you, but I have an association that we were punched in the face today and showed our place. We are standing on the street with black eyes, and we are afraid to show our faces to the fans.
I'm criticizing constructively.
We lost the fight and the rebounds in the supporting zone. We were slow on the ball today. A couple of players fell out of the game. Organization in defense - kindergarten. At first glance it seemed that Seballos and Bilovar were guilty of the first two conceded goals. But no, Brazko "made a mess": he lost the rebound and cut off the central defenders. In these two episodes, the central defenders won their fight.
The third conceded goal was an episode from a movie comedy. Mikhavko and Bilovar passed each other a player under the guardianship. The smart forward took Bilovar away from his place of work to get a beer, leaving Tymchik one-on-one with the two-meter athlete. I'll give you 100% that Tymchik didn't see him or control him at all. That's three nil.
Well, if we take the jokes out of it and get serious, we saw the difference. We're losing in athleticism and speed. I'm not talking about the chances we've created. Let me explain what athleticism is. Compared to Lazio players, we looked like skinny boys, and even a meter in cap and skates in the average height of the team. This is something for Dynamo selectors to take note of....
And lastly, a paradox.... According to professional statistics we were better than Lazio, but we lost 0:3)))))
Good luck to everyone! Glory to Ukraine!", - wrote Zakhovailo on his page in the social network Facebook.
