And now, in the last days of December, there is a reason to conclude the first part of the season. In our opinion, the most rewarding way to balance the “debit with credit” is to make a symbolic team for the autumn part of the championship. This is the easiest and most comprehensive way to identify the brightest characters of the current national championship.
It is clear that the definition of the eleven best in their roles is not only an interesting and complex question, but also a subjective one. Nevertheless, we will take up this matter. As for you, our dear readers, we are waiting for your options for the team in the comments. Or candidates for one or another position.
Goalkeeper Georgy Bushchan, Dynamo
FC Dynamo. Georgy Bushchan Probably the most controversial position. On the one hand, Dynamo’s number one did not distinguish himself with personal heroics. In contrast, for example, to Ingulets goalkeeper Alexei Palamarchuk or Karpat goalkeeper Oleksandr Kemkin. However, unlike these goalkeepers, and also unlike Georgy Ermakov from “Alexandria”, there were no breakdowns in Bushchan’s game, no failures. We chose ego over stability. For high stability. And stability, as is known, is an indicator of mastery.
Protection Right defender: Nikita Kravchenko, Alexandria
FC Alexandria. Nikita Kravchenko An excellent half-season performed by the team Rotanya. In our opinion, it was in “Alexandria” that Nikita truly revealed himself. The qualities of a highly qualified football player were visible in him even earlier, when he was just starting his career in big football. But “Dnepr-1” fell apart, “Dynamo” did not count on him, “Polesye” did not work out. Practically everything coincided, like one to another, in Alexandria. And now Kravchenko is not just the unconditional main defender of the “citizens”, but also one of the best assistants of the first half of the season.
Central defender: Miguel Kampusch, Alexandria
For our championship, this is a top defender. The way he knows how to read the game and advance the ball deserves a separate chapter. In addition, the Portuguese has a rare ability to pass, and accurately, at medium and long distances. And he also perfectly fulfills the standards. And not only penalties, but also free kicks. It seems that in the near future Kampush may be in a richer club.
Central defender: Mykola Matviyenko, Miner
Getty Images/Global Images Ukraine. Mykola Matviyenko The captain of Gornyakov started the season brilliantly, scoring two goals in the goal of Vorskla, and one of those goals was a real masterpiece. But then his ardor abated a little. However, against the background of both his team and the entire championship, Matviyenko is an iconic figure. Yes, his authority to some extent affected our choice, but at the same time, his inclusion in our team is not a tribute to past merits. This is a statement of fact. And the fact is as simple as the game of football: Mykola Matviyenko is one of the best center backs in the Ukrainian Premier League.
Left defender: Konstantin Vyvcharenko, Dynamo
This is just the case when patience and hard work will chew through everything. Vyvcharenko has been in the main team of Dynamo for a long time, but only this season can he be called the main football player of the “white and blue” team. He won the competition from Dubinchak. And at the same time, “Dynamo” won, because the speed and activity of Vyvcharenko bring whistles not only in defensive work, but also in attack.
Midfield Defensive linebacker: Vladimir Brazhko, Dynamo
The first season after returning to the home team from the lease in “Zara” turned out to be very successful for the young surfer. Brazhko immediately secured a place in the starting line-up of the “white and blue”, wore the captain’s armband, received a call-up to the national team. And in the first part of this season, Vladimir was very noticeable, but at the finish he slowed down a little. However, we simply could not include him in our national team, because he is a key player in the structure of the unconditional leader of the UPL.
Defensive linebacker: Ivan Kalyuzhny, Alexandria
This linebacker spent a very bright part of the season. So bright that he became an integral part of the team, which is the main discovery of the autumn part of the season. In addition, Kalyuzhny received a debut call to the main team of the country, where he also did not shy away. Rumor has it that Shakhtar has their eye on him. Well, it would be strange if he didn’t, because Ivan played a brilliant first-round match against the Donetsk team.
Right linebacker: Juan Bezerra, Alexandria
Surely the main opening of the first part of the season. Bezerra became the best football player of the national championship (autumn ego part) according to our website. The short young Brazilian is good in almost all components of the attacking game. He sees the field perfectly, can give a well-checked pass, and will complete the attack himself. And yes, in dribbling, his equals in the Ukrainian Premier League have yet to be seen.
Left linebacker: Oleksandr Nazarenko, Polesie
FC Polesie. Alexander Nazarenko The brilliant spurt of the former football player of “Dnipro-1” in a new place. Especially if you take into account the fact that Alexander was recovering from a complicated injury for a long time. Got cured. And now he is breaking the championship on his flank. One of the few in the UPL who can independently decide the outcome of the episode. Thanks to high speed and good technique. Scores a lot, assists a lot. Made his debut for the national team. In general, a real find for “Polesya”. And all of our football.
Central linebacker: Georgy Sudakov, Miner
Perhaps the only Shakhtar player who did not deserve criticism. Sudakov is accused of the argument that he plays better in the European arena than in the domestic championship. There is some truth in such a theory. But, at the same time, it is impossible not to note that even if this theory is true, Sudakov’s potential is enough to be considered the best player of the “orange-black” at the moment. And in general, one of the best players of the championship of Ukraine.
Striker: Vladyslav Vanat, Dynamo
FC Dynamo. Vladyslav Vanat Alas, in this regard, the choice is small, because for one reason or another, only one forward shot in the first part of the season. He became our laureate. Actually, due to the lack of competition in Vanat, we chose a scheme with one striker. Well, Vlad is definitely credited for the first part of the season. He went to the winter break as the leader of the scoring race.
Coach Ruslan Rotan, Alexandria
In this case, everything is extremely clear and obvious. As much as Rotan deserved criticism, sometimes derogatory, in the past season, so he deserves praise, sometimes complimentary, in the current season. Pull out essentially a peripheral team into the leader of domestic football – it costs a lot.
