Former goalkeeper and now a well-known Ukrainian coach Yuriy Virt believes that it is important for the Ukrainian goalkeeper of Real Madrid Andriy Lunin to improve his game on the exits.

- The fact is that the opponents know about this weakness and fill Lunin's penalty area with sheds, while blocking the exit of our goalkeeper. Andriy needs to get on the ball more often and do it with more confidence and brazenness, and then everything will work out," says Wirth.

As part of the 27th round of the Ukrainian Youth Championship, Dynamo U-19 from Kyiv hosted Kolos U-19 from Kovalevka at the club's base in Vita-Litovska.

Former Liverpool striker Robbie Fowler has said the club should look at the candidacy of coach Jose Mourinho.

"I can see why someone like Mourinho might be appointed. Real Madrid could be an example in this case. When Zidane left for the second time, in 2021, the club did not start looking for a young and promising coach, but turned to an experienced coach in the person of Carlo Ancelotti.

That experience and understanding of the business can definitely help a club in a transitional phase. But if the new coach is someone with character and an understanding of the club, the fans and the culture, things can get a little easier.

I think for this team specifically, it doesn't matter if the coach is experienced or not. It's more important that the coach and the club feel for each other. It all depends on how someone like Arne Slot adapts to the situation and the club. If Arne creates the right environment for the players to thrive, he will get everyone's support," Fowler told Crypto Casino LTD.

Recall, Mourinho is currently out of work after being sacked from Roma this winter.

The 7th round in the Champion's group of the first league started with a match in Sumy, where Karpaty failed to defeat local Viktoriya 0-0. By the way, this match lasted a total of four hours due to the air raid. Head coach of Lviv Myron Markevych told what prevented the Green-Whites from achieving a winning result:

"I am not satisfied with the result. We dictated the conditions, especially in the second half, but the chances were hard to come by. For the sake of justice it should be said that although the stadium in Sumy is good, but the pitch is hard, lumpy. It is difficult to stop the ball on such a pitch, and even more difficult to combine.

There are no complaints about the dedication of the charges, but the level of skill raises questions. To play in the UPL we need serious reinforcement. That is why the personnel changes in Karpaty will be significant. I am disappointed with the players playing on loan. Especially Arielson", - said Markevych.

Liverpool head coach Jurgen Klopp has said he does not want to discuss the future of midfielder Mohamed Salah at the club.

"It's not my problem anymore. I don't think I should talk about it. Others will decide, first of all Salah himself. Decisions will be made by other people," - quotes Klopp journalist Fabrizio Romano on his Twitter page.

Recall, after the end of the current season Klopp will leave the post of head coach of Liverpool.

Dynamo defender Maksym Dyachuk shared his expectations for the upcoming match against Kolos in the 27th round of the Ukrainian championship.
