“I will try to be unemotional….
Before the game, I spoke with Czech specialists who have a direct connection to “Victoria.” The Czechs were very wary of the counterplay of “Dynamo.” They knew their weak points very well. They agreed that the defensive midfield would be actively pressed. They decided against pressing the central defenders of “Dynamo.” And it is clear why; they were afraid of exposing their rear.
The goal was to score first. In their opinion, after conceding a goal, “Dynamo” would disrupt their structure. Then they would calmly deal with the central defensive zone of “Dynamo.” The plan was to put their forwards one-on-one against the central defenders of “Dynamo.” That was the strategy. Modestly and tastefully….
I do not know “Dynamo’s” plans. The first half showed that Shovkovsky correctly read the weaknesses of “Victoria.” The counterplay was at a decent level, but at some point, the Czechs lost their grip. Well, such moments need to be capitalized on.
There was a lot of waste, but “Dynamo” looked stronger on the counterattack.
The second half followed the script of the Czechs. Any adjustments in “Dynamo’s” structure after conceding a goal were ineffective. “Victoria” was already feasting from their own plate))) They are adapted to such a game in a deep block.
In summary: It is good that we scored. Regarding the tempo of the attack: a small number of “Dynamo” players managed to reach the lethal zone.
Advice: in the next two transfer windows, “Dynamo” needs to be very active in the market. Problems should not just be talked about but solved.
Wishing everyone well! Glory to Ukraine!” — Zakhovaylo wrote on his Facebook page.
