Former football player of "Dynamo" Oleksandr Aliyev shared his expectations for the match of the Ukrainian championship "Shakhtar" - "Dynamo".
"Let the bookmakers favor Shakhtar, but Dynamo is currently in first place, confidently. If Dynamo wins, it practically guarantees the championship. I never look for favorites, but I want the fans to see beautiful and effective football. Let the stronger one win.
I’ll be honest, I’m not too keen on watching Dynamo and Shakhtar matches right now. I can only watch summaries. I have little time for football now. I want our boys - Ukrainians - to show good football, and they are present in both teams. First and foremost, this is good for the national team. The more Ukrainians in the Classic, the more spectacular and effective the game will be.
Do I see now players who remind me of Aliyev at his peak? There are no players like me today. Today is a new generation, so let them prove themselves to be talked about just as you ask about us.
If Dynamo is in first place, it means Shovkovskyi is doing a good job with the team. It’s time for Dynamo to become champions; it’s been a while since they wore gold medals. I hope we will see a productive match with many goals. I want Dynamo to win, but may the strongest take the three points. I dare to predict 2:2," Aliyev said.
