Famous commentator Ihor Tsyhanyk commented on the substitution of Dynamo midfielder Vitaliy Buyalskyi in the match of the 8th round of the Ukrainian championship against Metalist 1925.
’We are now repeating the path we followed to Euro 2024. We are crawling, not advancing. The way we are playing now — I don’t see any development perspective.
Our last two victories are not Rebrov’s merit, but the merit of one player — Ruslan Malinovsky. It’s one person who played out these two teams with experience. It’s bad for the national team. Because then the team depends on the quality of one player, not on the coach’s idea and strategy.
Malinovsky scored 3 goals and made an assist in these matches. But where is the game, where is the team thought? And we pulled out an experienced player and the level of opponents allows him to succeed. But this is the level of Iceland and Azerbaijan. I’m sure that in the match against Iceland we were lucky. Against Azerbaijan we were stronger, but we were still on the verge of losing points. Although this loss of points would not have decided anything — everything will still be decided in the second match against Iceland,' quotes Tsyhanyk Telegram channel FootballHub.
