Former head coach of Cherkasy LNZ Oleg Dulub shared his impressions of the match of the 4th round of the main stage of the Europa League between Kyiv’s "Dynamo" and Hungarian "Ferencváros" (0:4), which took place last Thursday in Hamburg.
Oleg Dulub“The result was unexpected. According to preliminary analysis, "Dynamo" exceeded "Ferencváros" in almost all indicators. Of course, the red card to the defender had the greatest impact on the match.
But this is not critical for the level of "Dynamo," and the first half and its conclusion confirmed this. There were moments when they should have equalized and even taken the lead.
But this substitution of Buialskyi... One of the most creative players, who can create something in connection with Shaparenko. Perhaps it was necessary to replace a wide midfielder—Kabaev or Voloshyn.
And also "Dynamo" simply did not tactically analyze this right flank of the opponent, where four players were coming: Kadi, the second forward from the left flank, a full-back plus a defensive midfielder. And against them played only two: just the full-back and the wide forward. There was a 4-on-2 situation, and they did not manage to deal with that. This was the main problem.
But I’ll tell you. There is a saying that a cornered mouse turns into a lion. Right now "Dynamo" has a situation in the Europa League when it seems that everything is against them. It reminds me of the situation with the Ukrainian national team when they lost two matches at the start of the Nations League. For "Dynamo," everything is just beginning—they can definitely take 9-10 points. Absolutely.
The overall level of "Dynamo" this season is a hundred percent higher than the team showed in the game against "Ferencváros." There are just such matches when everything goes into your net, and there's nothing you can do about it. Because even with a score of 0:1, "Dynamo" created chances, turning the game in another direction. The main thing is not to give up and keep moving forward,” said Dulub.
