Shovkovsky is underestimated and in vain: why the League of Europe was not an indicator of Dynamo level

Recently, there is a lot of talk about Ruslan Rotana’s incredible work in Alexandria, Sergiy Shishchenko in Obolon or Vladislav Lupashka in the Carpathians, but for some reason, these conversations are not featured by Alexander Shovkovsky and his Dynamo.

I don’t understand that. In your opinion, Sasha did not deserve his achievements in the best place in the top top? Although, in my opinion, he has every right to be considered the best right now.

Remember what condition the team was?

Season 2022/23 just want to forget-fourth place in the Ukrainian Premier League, in one of the weakest in history. Then the terrible start of the next season, the departure from the Early Cup and the defeat of Besiktash in the qualification of the League of Conferences. This is the team headed by Shovkovsky: disassembled, broken, not ready to fight for titles.

And what happened after his arrival?

Dynamo immediately began to win. The team was 5th in the standings, but as a result, it claimed the championship. For the whole season-2023/24, the Shovkovsky team lost only 1 match, championship, Shakhtar.

Okay, it can still be written off for the “bouquet period”, as is often the case after a coach is changed, but … remember the qualification in the Champions League? Dynamo, almost without strengthening his composition, simply declared a guerrilla (9: 2 in the sum of two meetings), Ranger (3: 1) passed and only gave way to Salzburg (1: 3).

What happened to Dynamo in the Europa League? The main problem in assessing the work of Shovkovsky – Dynamo failed the Europa League. Well, I have two arguments, why LE is not specifically an indicator in this situation. The first is the one that everyone was talking about: a terrible mistake in choosing a stadium. Serious logistics problems, minimal support and poor lawn are all the consequences of choosing an arena in Hamburg.

Literally everyone complained about logistics: from Shovkovsky himself to players. And Dynamo President Igor Surkis later acknowledged that it was a mistake.

The second is a lot.

And I am not about rivals here, Dynamo could have been in an additional stage, even with these clubs. I’m about the sequence.

In the first three rounds of Kyivans, representatives of the top 5 lay in Europe, and let us be honest, no one put on the fact that Dynamo would gain something here. I am convinced that the calculation was at the match against relatively equal in the power of Ferencvaros, Victoria Plzen and the RSFSh.

But there was a red card by Vladislav Dubinchak at the start of the game against Ferencvaros. Everything, the whole plan is destroyed, Dynamo did not score points where it was supposed. Already at that moment in the team they realized – there was almost no chance to go to the playoff. And there were almost no games: four games, two of which are against very strong Galatasaray and Real Madrid.

At the same time, I believe that this plan on the Europa League Shovkovsky, on the contrary, proved his skill as a coach. He had a specific task: win the UPL. The European Cups were not the first priority, and the limited number of quality players did not allow two fronts to fight.

And in my opinion, the coaching staff made the best decision: to sacrifice matches in which there was a little chance, in favor of the championship, and to bet on the last four rounds. Oh, if not red Dubinchak …

Invincible in UPL Dynamo completed this season in the Ukrainian Championship in the Ukrainian Championship without losing. And despite this, Shovkovsky calls few people call the best trainer of the season in UPL. Yes, I agree that the work of other mentors I mentioned in the beginning also deserves praise, but that does not mean that you need to forget about Shovkovsky.

I understand why it can be. However, Dynamo does not show bright football, but plays pragmatically, in the mode of savings. Sometimes this led to problems as in the game with Vorskla (1: 1) or the dawn (2: 2). Sometimes to both sides of the match: Polesie (0: 0), Chernomorets (1: 1). But in most cases, Dynamo won, and often with a comfortable score.

Let’s look at the numbers: Dynamo missed the least heads (19). In the second Alexandria – 22. Dynamo was only slightly behind the miner by scored (61 vs 69) and by difference (42 vs. 43). Vladislav Vanat with the reserve became the best scorer, Buyalsky and Shaparenko – one of the best assistants. This season Dynamo won naturally.

Shovkovsky gives playing everyone And with all this struggle for the trophy, Shovkovsky allowed everyone. Every football player Dynamo knew that he would sooner or later get his chance to go out. In the 201024/25 season, 32 players played for Dynamo, 19 of them played more than 1000 minutes. For comparison, in Alexandria only 12 players spent so much time on the field, Shakhtar had 16.

And during this period several young talents were revealed in the team: Taras Mikhavko became reinforced concrete, Vladimir Brazhko played in the first half of the season even for the national team (with all competition in the center of the field), and Mykola Mikhailenko after the winter without loss as a replacement of Vladimir. And how did Vanat be angry? It is also a merit and Shovkovsky in particular.

I have been following Dynamo for many years, and since Rebrov, I have not been confident in the victory over the underdgia and the middle -aged championship. Shovkovsky reminded me of what a feeling it was. Even if the first half does not work, I understand that after talking to Silkow Dynamo will play. He has broken the game many times, such as in the match against Shakhtar (2: 2) or Obolon (3: 0).

Right now I can’t criticize the mentor. Personally, the next European Cup season will be indicative for me, when the championship will no longer have such a priority. Then we will see the true level of modern Dynamo. And I hope I was not mistaken in his trust in Alexander Shovkovsky.
