Expert Vyacheslav Zakhovailo’s analysis of Dynamo vs Shakhtar match.

The well-known manager and expert Vyacheslav Zakhovailo estimated for 1927.kiev.ua the match between Dynamo and Shakhtar (1:1).

– Very weak football on both sides. Both coaches tried to portray something tactically. It all comes down to the fact that there were many individual mistakes that took their toll. Neshcheret “gave foam” – a young goalkeeper, until he misses his “foams”, will not become a goalkeeper. At this age, to be at the heart of Dynamo – you need to try. Both at Shakhtar and at Dynamo, 60-70% of the players do not match the brand of the club. The trainer is the same.

— Most experts and bookmakers considered Shakhtar to be favorites — something went wrong?

The force of action is equal to the force of reaction. Teams tactically played “in diapers”. The coaches portrayed a tactical duel that didn’t happen. There was football without style, without style, without goals, without anything. Jovicevich was afraid of Lucescu, Lucescu was afraid of himself. It’s good that there were no spectators in the stands – it’s boring to watch such football. Football is a result and a show. Neither team had skill.

— Can anyone be singled out in the Dynamo squad?

– With such a game it is difficult to single out someone. There are no individually outstanding players in the UPL at all. No, and cannot be in the conditions in which Ukraine finds itself. Clasico, the derby has behind it individually strong players. Specialists must educate strong players, and with acquired, ready-made performers, a journalist can also be a coach.

— Andrievsky for a goal can be noted? The commentators emphasized that he could score from such a point …

– He scored, well done, but, as they say: once a year the stick shoots. As for the commentators, at the fifth minute I turned off the sound. They are good guys, they tried. My ears could not stand their competence. If you are a commentator, you should understand football at the level of a coach. For experts, what they say is bullshit. They turned into “likes” and populist YouTube showdowns. They can not be compared with the commentators from the top leagues: we watched one football, and the eccentrics watched another. I have nothing against them, I don’t want to offend anyone, I speak as a spectator, a fan. Commentators must comment on the game. If you don’t understand football, let it be a radio report, but when you constantly teach football players and coaches throughout the match, it looks like a comedy. If only something football was said, and not comments at the level of the Akter team, which was in Kyiv. The musicians gathered and played dir-dir. Such a level. You need to study, there are schools in Ukraine, but as a result, you have to turn off the sound. What we have, we have.

— Are there any questions for refereeing?

– If we talk about the moment with Rakitsky, then from each side it can be viewed differently. It is obvious to us, it is not obvious to the referee. It is easier for referees at the VAR to judge, but even their decisions in the UPL can be very controversial. Not because they think of something, but because they do not know how. Even on video from different angles, the episode may look different.

In the first half, Stepanenko drove into Buyalsky with his hand, there was contact with his leg. We pounce on the arbitrator, but from his position it was not obvious to him. I want to wish the referee to always be in the right position.

— Shovkovsky was appointed acting duties of a head coach. How do you assess its prospects?

– Alexander must have his own handwriting. It will be very difficult for him now. Rebrov also started as an assistant, but his style is visible – it’s worth a lot. Shevchenko also has his own style. I hope that Sasha will also have his own style and his own understanding of football. I wish him psychological strength, I want to support him in this situation and that he gets enough time to convey his vision to the players so that they can realize it. Dynamo should give Shovkovsky time, at least until the end of the season, he should work.

I want to wish Lucescu good health, and the club’s management should scratch their heads and think about how to further develop the club and bring in a specialist who matches the Dynamo Kyiv brand. And the Dynamo and Shakhtar players need to look in the mirror before saying that they are fine. I read that they are constantly selling someone somewhere – there are a lot of such players in Europe. I wanted to enjoy this game, but I got the championship of the bath. If I were the presidents of Dynamo and Shakhtar, I would fine the players of both teams for this game. Whatever it was, two brands played and they must answer them.
