The former midfielder of “Dynamo” Mykola Morozyuk stated that he has always liked the playing style of Shakhtar.
Mykola Morozyuk“I can’t stand Donetsk’s “Shakhtar”, but for some reason their style has always been closer to me. Shakhtar always has ball control, everything is through passing, combination football. “Dynamo” is more about athletics, speed, counterattacks, and so on.
The only period when I got huge satisfaction at “Dynamo” was when we switched to a five-defender tactic, where I had a complete carte blanche — I could do whatever I wanted. The defensive responsibility was taken off me, because it’s definitely not my strongest quality, but I had free hands in terms of attack.
Two lateral players, polishing everything from flag to flag — I felt fantastic at that time. Those were my best seasons; I showed quite a good result with the “goal+assist” system. But it didn’t last long.
Under Rebrov, I enjoyed football at “Dynamo” the most. It was precisely with this formation. Because we really started playing football, it was tough even for “Shakhtar” to deal with us. Until they figured us out, and we had to change something partially. But Serhiy Stanislavovych left “Dynamo”, and changes began again,” said Morozyuk on the YouTube channel of Denys Boyko.
