Journalist Volodymyr Zverov expressed his opinion about the upcoming confrontation between “Dynamo” and “Pafos” in the third qualifying round of the Champions League.
Volodymyr Zverov“Pafos” needs to be overcome. I looked at this team. In the match against “Maccabi,” they played in the majority from the 30th minute. This somewhat spoils the impression of the level of this pair. The style of football executed by “Pafos” was extremely simple. There is a very decent left-back. He receives the ball and is able to make a pass of any difficulty. He is like Matviyenko. Therefore, Dynamo’s right flank has to cover him. This defender also takes set-pieces, which was a problem for the Kyiv team last season.
“Pafos” does not have any grand play in the center of the field. They kick the ball forward, and there are decent wingers who attack. There is one well-known Swedish football player who outplayed “Zorya” in the European cups while playing for “Ostersund.” This person played five seasons at “Watford.” He has 200 matches there. And there are many such players. Some have played in Portugal and other very good leagues. They have the ability to work with the ball, but the intensity is low.
There is a suspicion that “Dynamo,” like last season, will reach the peak of their physical abilities. If that’s the case, then “Pafos” can be overcome. There are no downed pilots, but there are veterans somewhere. They have class, but they need to be overcome due to fast-paced football,” — quotes Zverov the Telegram channel FootballHub.
