«They say that even in every failure one should look for the positive. Unfortunately, regarding the confrontation in Polish Lublin, I did not notice any improvements in the game of Dynamo. That’s why there is not much to comment on. The reality is that Kyiv finds it difficult to compete with teams like Crystal Palace.
The Londoners are in the spotlight in the Premier League, are in good playing shape, and have a quality selection of players along with a qualified coaching staff.
There was hope that Crystal Palace would field a non-combat squad, but they did not take risks and all the leaders played. Of course, under such conditions, one could hope that the Dynamo players would try to minimize the advantage in class against their opponents through commitment and physical readiness, however, this did not happen. That is why the victory of the Londoners was not in doubt,» said Kosovsky.
