I commented on the match “Real” - “Dynamo” Kiev with us on Plus and solved a rather strange creative task on its eve. The fact is that, for various reasons, over the past two years I have seen Kiev Dynamo in action, it seems, no more than three times. Maybe four. Although unlikely. The last time this happened a year ago with a little back in the match against the Swiss Thun, according to which Kiev did not get into the league.
In preparation for the match, I had two ways: either dig into the information about Dynamo Kiev in recent months, break off the phone to colleagues who comment on our Ukrainian championship relatively regularly and fill up the brain with a bunch of optional information, or try to look at the Kiev games with a fresh look . I chose the second - this situation is too rare for the commentator.
Well, criticizing a team that lost 1: 5 is easy after the fact. Even if she lost to Real Madrid. But nothing else remains. Unfortunately, in the very drawing of the game of Kiev, in its original skeleton, I do not see what it would be possible to catch my eye on.
Judge for yourself. After all, there are things that are inherent in the club throughout its history. Kievans, by the way, always had a colossal game discipline. So much so that sometimes, absorbing other virtues, it became a source of some enslavement. But now is not about that. There is such a feature and the “Real”. The current Club of Madrid, in addition, is far from the worst of the latest versions, but with the weakest team under the white banner of the Royal Club, no one could ever play, giving them great freedom on the field. The freedom to make decisions, take the ball, seek partners. If this happened - everything, write is gone. And it “disappeared” and is now written in the language of numbers on the scoreboard of the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium. And in the Ukrainian newspapers today on the front pages.
What about the fact that the Kiev team has decent players? How much more will Milevsky be considered a young talent? Each, of course, has its own terms. But Sheva at this age didn’t surprise his rivals, but tore, stamped and metal. It was men's football, not teenage. Football men.
What is the fact that in the match with Real Madrid there is something to remember? A couple of good attacks, some interesting options ... That could be proud of, play the ice rink team against you. And “Real” will not become such a skating rink even under the control of Capello. He gives you to play, because he is sure that he plays better. And score more. That's all.
And, by the way, the victories that the people of the Oblast had achieved over Real before were victories when white stars suddenly turned out to be white dudes. When the ruthless spring of the counterattack beat them to bloody bruises. When in the middle of the field of the Madrid players he met a brood of bull terriers aiming to gnaw the ball - and they didn’t see anything terrible about biting off a piece of the shield or drumstick with it. That was the game. And I'm not talking about the return of the players - although about her too; but that bestowal crowned an effective game plan, and here Milevsky’s heels seemed to be the team’s only hope in the match. Sorry, by golly.
And now the illusion of equal play continued right up to the first goal. Until that moment, you could open your tail and tell yourself that we had strikes, and we could score - if we were a little more precise. This “slightly more precise” is not at all what the Shatsky will ever compete with Ore Van Nistelrooy in his life; it was necessary to compete in another, but this is called to go on about the opponent. The first goal, “Real” scored from the goalkeeper's line into the empty net. The second - when Raul in his signature Raul manner, known since he was seventeen years old and joined the Real Madrid, jumped from the back of his unlucky guardian and played ahead of his head. Well, the third goal is the apotheosis of the meaninglessness of massive defense. There is no one to prevent Diarre, to impose a fight on the edge so that he does not raise his head, or on the forehead at the penalty area, where Diarra spotted the free Reyes and threw him the ball. And then the whole accumulation of defenders in the penalty area is only a hindrance to the goalkeeper and the ground for rebounds.
Ehhh. Dynamo, Dynamo, Kiev, Kiev ... It was all the other way around once. And the start in the European autumn was the most important event of the season. They prepared for him, but the main thing is that according to him, according to his standard, the team was checked, its compliance with the model. And now it seems that a quiet existence in the championship of Ukraine, on the contrary, calms the leadership of the club. Say, here they are, they can! Coaches can come up, players play. It remains to understand why they can not there.
Sorry for the harshness, but it's like in a famous joke about one unpleasant substance, from which a group of scientists was ordered to make jam. The deadlines came, inspectors arrived, and the scientists report: half the work is done! How is this half the battle? And so half the battle - you can already smear!
This is a pity. You should not conduct such experiments at all. It's time to translate the work of creating the club into a truly professional channel.
In the meantime, 2: 9 in the first two games in Kiev. Spartak once had 1:18 at six. The rivalry of the two famous clubs continues.
