Famous commentator Ihor Tsyhanyk explained whether Aliu Tiare will replace Taras Mykhavko in Dynamo’s starting lineup.
Ihor Tsyhanyk— Tiare is a good player. But I prefer when a central defender not only defends but can start an attack, sees its development. It seems that he is a bit clumsy, without the proper schooling. Yes, he is sizable, can fight, doesn’t shy away from challenges, quite tough. But Dynamo Kyiv needs a more refined player.
I’m not talking about Makhavko — he is now playing in the left-back position. Yes, in tackling, he is not always outstanding, can make mistakes, but his mistakes come from the desire to start an attack, to play unorthodoxly. And Tiare, when he is next to Popov, — it’s clear that they both need someone alongside, like Pikhalonok, to take the ball and start the attack. Otherwise, it will be difficult.
Yes, they can pass diagonally, but to build up play, to get out of defense through passing — with Tiare and Popov, this is very difficult. Tiare now is a player who defends well, doesn’t let goals be scored. In this, he is better than Mykhavko. But when it comes to game organization, starting attacks — Mykhavko is stronger. He has a pass, vision, and broader football thinking. In my opinion, — said Tsyhanyk.
