Dynamo Kyiv’s head coach summed up the team’s impressive performance in European competition.
Dynamo started well in the European Cup, but when the time came for the national championship, they could not cope with the fatigue. This is how Mircea Lucescu sees the reasons for his team’s failure in the Europa League. The specialist also analyzed the reasons for the defeat in the last round of the LE group stage.
“We made two mistakes that allowed Fenerbahce to win this game. In the two matches against the Turks, we conceded twice after corners, once after a throw-in, once after a defensive error . However, Fenerbahce played well, they were great. team with strong players. “They were very motivated, we played for our honor. Our players showed character on the field. This is a positive thing that I saw in this match.
We started this season very well, passing Fenerbahce and Sturm in Champions League qualification. It was hard to stop Benfica, because we started switching between Ukraine and Poland twice a week. This has a big impact because we don’t have a permanent place for training and we don’t have our own stadium. When we started playing simultaneously in the Ukrainian Championship and the Europa League, it became impossible to control the situation.
Today we will return to Ukraine and start playing in the championship as usual, playing home matches in Kyiv. Therefore, there will be no problem with continuous transfer. It’s a shame that we finished last in the Europa League group. In my opinion, we do not deserve such a result. In other circumstances, we would have achieved a more successful result,” Lucescu was quoted by Dynamo’s official website as saying.
Recall that Dynamo in the last match of the Europa League lost at home to Fenerbahce 0:2. Thus, the team finished the group stage without winning a single match. The White-Blues have one draw and five losses.
In addition, Fenerbahce and Rennes will continue to compete in the Europa League from Group B, Cypriot AEK will play in the Conference League.
