In the summer, Kyiv’s “Dynamo” loaned one of the leaders of the youth team, Oleksiy Husev, to “Zorya”. At the adult football level, the young right-back hardly played. 1 minute in UPL.

So far, he is not playing for Patrick van Leeuwen either. In the Kharkiv derby against “Metalist”, he sat all match on the substitute bench. “Metalist-1925” simply needs to fill the "gap" in the squad at the right-back position. In the summer, Ilya Krupskyi will join the team.
At the beginning of spring, there was a problem with the right-back in the first team of “Dynamo” due to the injury of Oleksandr Tymchyk. It seemed like a chance for Husev. But he wasn’t ready for that because he hadn’t played for half a year. If he had had playing practice at “Zorya”, perhaps Valeriy Luchkevych would never have become a player for “Dynamo”. It would have been enough to have his own trainee for the role of a reserve player.
Unfortunately, now everything is repeating again with another “Dynamo” talent, Andriy Matkevych. He also wanted a loan in the summer. Since January, he has been training with “Zorya”. In February, the loan was finalized. In 6 matches of the second part of the season, Matkevych played for the first team of “Zorya” zero minutes....
Matkevych makes it to the squad but does not come on the field. At the end of March, he went to Turkey with the Ukraine U-20 national team. He is healthy. “Zorya” has problems with wingers. On the flank, the former Dynamo player Roman Vantukh can play, who has always been a left-back. Also, the forward Igor Horbach is loaned from “Dynamo”. Or Artem Slesar, who turned out to be unnecessary for the same “Dynamo”.
What was the point of such a loan and what sense did it have? A young footballer must play. A loan to another team is possible only if the team’s head coach needs this player.
There is the example of Navin Malish, who has the trust and, accordingly, the playing practice at “Vorskla”. He constantly plays under Yuriy Maksymov and has already managed to score two goals. If it continues like this, he will get his chance in the first team of “Dynamo” in the summer.
