On Friday, right before the final of the Cup, both Ukrainian grandchildren held their matches. And they ended identical – at zero. And this phenomenon is not only an account: the attitude to the game, and the return was also identical for both Dynamo and Shakhtar. Both clubs will represent Ukraine in European cups next season – but is it necessary in this form? OBOZ.UA analyzes whether time has appeared in Europe.
Dynamo and Shakhtar do not want to play football
From the moment of departure from European Cups, Grand has stopped thinking about football. During the recovery of the season, Dynamo passed 1 step and competed only with Alexandria; Shakhtar went far behind. Everything that is placed in the 21st tour is 0-0 with the “Carpathians” after a draw, Pushich said that Donetsk Club no longer competes for gold:
“We must be honest with ourselves: we have lost the chances of the UPL name, lost the chances of catching up Dynamo.”
It was in early March! The delay from white and blue at 10 points was already recorded, but the miners still had a play in the warehouse. Later, the coach changed his mind and said that the struggle had not yet been completed. But the players immediately changed – the champions of Ukraine left attempts to protect the title.
People of Kyiv did not impress. Despite the continuation of the Win -win series (which was even longer), the Dynamo stable lost one of the halves. Shovkovsky says: “I do not understand what is happening”, became winged, because one way or another he sounded after each game. The drama with the absence of a brother was discussed more than the actions of players on the field. Of the three UPL leaders, although he in some way tries to fight Rotan: he already has the first coaching silver. Everyone else seemed boring.
Argument “Rest on a Cup” – does not work
In the 28th round, both grandchildren spent their matches on Friday, so there would be more time to relax before the classic in the Cup. Shakhtar played against dawn, and Dynamo arrived in Polesi. And both matches ended 0-0! The miners crossed out the removal of the gram, but the question arises, where did the implementation go? Even the tenants looked more firm than Lugansk, who had long agreed with their deep middle place. Basically, only one team played – and these were Pushic parishes. But the scoreboard is zeros, a terrible result for the bronze medalist.
And in the Dynamo match, especially in order not to remember sharp moments. The first attempt was up to the 59th minute, and then the shot of Dubinchak was easy in the goalkeeper. White Blue also could not use the gifts of the people of Zhytomyr, in which the struggle for a single vacant European cup. And he was Gonzalva, who in 18 minutes on the field gave all possible balls to Kyiv. Only 1 will explode into the situation and natural zeros on the scoreboard in the second match of the Ukrainian Grand.
Of course, we can say that the teams were preparing for the final of the Cup, so they retained every effort for the main match of the season. But did Dynamo’s foundation go for the match against Polesi? When comparing the Grands eye 2 weeks ago, then only the whites played in Kiev instead of Michael. Not much more differences from the miners – Fesyun changed the difference in the gate, and instead of Matvienko, Kriskin began. This tour could not demonstrate its complaints about victories. Of course, the season is completed, and its last tours have remained – the foundations of the faces are not allowed to relax.
In the fall, they sometimes referred to a difficult situation with almost weekly moving from Ukraine to Europe and vice versa for LH or LE games. The situation with the finale between the tours is something like autumn, but it is not necessary to go far – the jacket is very close to Kyiv, where both clubs are based. And the depth of the composition is solid as the most powerful representatives of the state. Therefore, the coaches should look for the answer, and where is the strength and motivation of their players?
Ukraine (not) requires diversity in European cups?
Do you know how many teams represented Ukraine at different stages of three European Cup tournaments for all independence? More than 20 years. Among them was Niva, the finalist of the 1996 Cup and Dynamo monopolized the European Cup. Regardless of whether they have medals – from the season 97/98, the great gap falls into the international arena. And if by the year 2010 these were interesting teams, then the last 10 years of their games are increasingly lost as quality.
Once upon a time, already missed “Dnipro-1”, “Metalist”, the old “Carpathians” and “Tavria”, “Olympic”, “Desna” … We have new names: “Alexandria” for a step from a new attempt, “Polyssy” and “Kriavbas” have already tried. In early spring, 2 representatives of LVIV fought for European cups. But the question arises here – which tournament Ukrainian clubs are suitable if the performances are just as weak? Chitomir and Kryvorichka did not win a single match last summer, the Dnieper club completely starred in the title role and blocked a place for someone else. Shakkhtar is now a step away from LC, where he has never been, but Chelsea’s success does not smell here. Dynamo goes to the Champions League in qualification, where he will fail more and more. But after the 28th round, a performance in the Champions League in the Champions League – if on Sunday Alexandria wins the Carpathians on Sunday, then from the first place there will be only 2 points. This trend is not excluded that we can have a replacement in elite Europeans.
Necessary
Shahtar only once instructed courage this season once – when Brest was overcome. Dynamo has no courage at all: one mistake – and the team will pour it. The victory in the last round of RFSH is fiction, and not a real result for the once best Ukrainian club in the international arena. Of course, our representatives did not have a high place in a joint table, even on the joints the chances were scarce. But where is the desire? We did not see him in the classics – in front of the eyes of the meeting, Granda synchronously gave the enemy in half. The prime minister -liga has 30 rounds and a place for errors. European cups should be chosen, where there will be no chances for a mistake at all.
Take a look at the final of the Europa League, where the APL Outsiders will determine which one is better. Tottenham and Manchester United, despite the failure of the home season, placed everything on LE and got the most possible. Now one of them, as the winner of the tournament, is guaranteed to get to the Champions League-with 15 or 16th place of their league! And all because even such hopelessness was turned into a desire. “MU”, as a rule, shared his beloved “athletic” 7: 1. And when did you see for the last time at least like a similar perforation named after Ukrainian clubs?
The Ukrainian prime minister -Liga came to the final line in a row, but most clubs of candidates in European cups continue to fight each other. But it seems that Dynamo and Shakhtar is already boring – at least it is felt in their matches and performances on all arenas. If the same bad performances will be in Europe, then our association will fall even lower in the UEFA rating. Then the champion of Ukraine will only reach the play -off of the League of Conferences. And this does not suit us at all.
