On October 24, the players of "Dynamo" will hold another match in the group stage of the Europa League - against the Italian "Roma", whose ranks are defended by the Ukrainian forward Artem Dovbik. Former player of the national team of Ukraine Adrian Pukanych shared whether the Kyiv team will play against the hosts’ attacking leader personally.
Adrian Pukanych— I think that the Dynamo players will manage without this. Most likely, the Kyiv center-backs will keep an eye on Dovbik when he is in their zones. The main thing is that the cover should be proper, and one must be alert after long passes from the "citizens" behind the defenders, because Artem can run away.
However, in my opinion, Dovbik, like almost all forwards, is very dependent on the help of his teammates. That’s why the Kyiv team should act closely with the creative midfielders of the hosts in their own territory, particularly with Dybala, neutralizing the opponent's activity on the flanks.
The Dynamo players had enough time to thoroughly prepare for the battle in Rome. Yes, the hosts will have insane support from their 12th player, but the "citizens" are not without faults in defense, especially in the goal area. If the Kyiv team is persistent and determined, goal-scoring chances will not disappear. The matter is in conversion, I am sure the expert.
