Former midfielder of Kyiv’s “Dynamo” Sergey Mizin shared his impressions of the match of his former team against the Spanish “Real Sociedad” (0:3) in the 5th round of the main stage of the Europa League.
“Another disappointment. And considering that in the next round of the Europa League the Kyiv team will play away against the ambitious Turkish “Galatasaray”, which is realistically vying for a place in the top eight, this streak of failures may continue. But it seems that the Dynamo players are not particularly worried about this.
The Kyiv team was missing several key players. It seemed that the reserves, who were given a chance to play, would do everything to grab the attention of the coaching staff. Useless hopes, again powerlessness, where are at least your willpower qualities, guys?
Another noticeable issue: a short bench for the Kyiv team, and some positions definitely require urgent strengthening. Perhaps, for the average UPL such a level of preparedness is enough for victories, but for the European Cups much stronger players are needed. Otherwise, the streak of failures on the international stage will never end,” Mizin said.
