“Swim down.” Dynamo legend – about the failure of the team in the Champions League

Yesterday, on August 12, in Dynamo Limassol, he gave way to Cyprus Paphos (0: 2) in the match-answer of the Third Qualification Round of the Champions League and flew out of the most prestigious European club tournament.

Now the people of Kiev will try happiness in the playoffs of the League of Europe. But it will be in a week and now the site Sport.ua With the help of a legendary defender, and later the Dynamo trainer Oleg Kuznetsovatried to understand this, if not humiliating, then the very incomprehensible defeat of the wards of Alexander Shovkovsky.

– Oleg Vladimirovich, Dynamo fans have the right to call the defeat of their team in confrontation with Paphos shameful?
– I would not say shameful, but the fact that in the last few years is the most free game in the performance of the dynamics, this is exactly. The fans of “white and blue” are annoying that they gave way to the Cyprus team, not Spanish or English. In the subconscious, people have such a representative of Cyprus in any condition. And it turns out that Albanians or the same Cypriots can not only resist, but also win large clubs with history.

– I agree with the commentator of the pathos match – Dynamo, who said that the people of Kiev with every half of this confrontation played worse and worse. What do you say about it?
– I heard that the players were not ready physically. Then the question arises as to how the meeting took place, if after several matches of the season the team does not run. Theoretically, the focus at the meeting was to be placed that the team was in the form of the qualifying matches of the European Cups, and then to think about the championship and the Cup of Ukraine.

I repeat that I have not seen such a wandering game in Dynamo. I was surprised that after the missed ball at the beginning of the duel, the players would lower their hands. This has never been. In any case, our generation was taught that if you lose, then you have to fight, bite, roll, earn cards, and now the situation looked very gloomy. There was no leader on the field. The same captain Vitaliy Buyalsky looked weak. The fan can forgive the defeat of the team, but not so inseless. You are taken by two halves, and you have not made any smart. I am sure that if the opponent’s players were adopted a couple of times, they showed emotions, everything could go differently. And so they went downstream with thoughts that the game would end faster.

– It is safe to say that the Cypriots have studied Dynamo well. And how did the people of Kiev study the opponent if they conceded by all statistical indicators?
– There are services that are engaged in gathering information and studying the opponent’s game. On the basis of this, the coach chooses tactics, gives the guidance to the ward and the team as a whole. But this is a theory, and in practice everything is done by players, and they did nothing at all, so many have a level that does not correspond to even the standards of Ukrainian football. It often gets coaches, and players hide or they are afraid to comment on such ugly actions. And when you criticize them, they are also offended.

Probably in the break there were conversations from coaches in high colors, and I was practically convinced that in the second half we would see the other, bad Dynamo, but there were no commands on the field.

– If you consider the fact that the dynamo was hot and stuffy, why then the opponent ran?
– This is all the issue of preparation. I don’t know what the plan of this work was. In addition to Andrei Yarmolenko and Vitaliy Buyalsky, Dynamo, all at good football age, many young people. You need to ask those who prepared the team.

– Can you say that the class of “Paphos” exceeds Dynamo?
– No. Paphos is a medium -level team, with the same performers, just a well -trained coach who did quality work, gathering an international team together.

– What are elementary errors in transmission, whereas the Cypriots of the walls took place?
– I would name two factors: it is physical readiness when the legs do not run, then the head does not work, and the level of players itself makes itself known. It may not be necessary to focus on the fact that this is perhaps the most important match of the season, although it is. The players were clamped into psychological vice and they did not cope with it. If there is a lot in the championship, then in Europe – no.

– After the match, Alexander Shovkovsky said that it was necessary to intensify, although previously such issues were not raised in the first place.
– After the fight, they do not wave their fists. It had to be done earlier, not after such lesions. Already in recent years, this issue has raised, since there will be no progress without competition. They talk about the problem in the center of defense, but everything remains unchanged. Increasing in the center of the field, a shortage of extreme midfielders is required. And conditionally the same Vanat played badly, but he knows that he would go out on the field and in the next match, because Gerrero and Ponomarenko are not achieved. Yes, strong European football players will not come to us because of the war, but Ukraine can also find decent players.

– How difficult is it from such lesions? I ask this because the 16th of Dynamo game in the championship, and, in essence, a week later the first match for the right to be represented in the group round of the Europa League.
– The task of the coaching staff is not only to train, but also to bring the team from such a psychological state. It will probably be a serious rotation and the best to prepare for further European Cup trials. There is no time to miss.

Yes, now we are not worthy of performing in the Champions League group round, but there is a Europa League, also a serious tournament. The season can still be saved.
