According to the coach, the people of Kiev also need to work on the “last transfer”
Mentor Dynamo Mircea Lucescu summed up the confrontation with Veres (1:0) in the 14th round of the UPL. The Romanian coach stressed that his team lacked courage and courage.
“We have taken over 80 corners in this championship and I often tell the guys that in order to succeed at set-pieces, you need two factors: the quality they have and also the courage. It is necessary to boldly go to the ball and join the fight in order to get ahead of the opponent. But now we lack this courage, this courage, and we must return them.
“Popov had a good connection, he met the ball, but, unfortunately, he lost a bit of his finishing skill. Zabarny and Sirota still need to improve, because they are not yet good enough with the standards at the other gates.
“In the first year, we played the ball at set pieces, played the extra player against the opponents, brought the ball into the penalty area. We made combinations and scored goals. But now the opponents have studied us well, they are pulling up more of their players at corners in order not to allow us to play such draws.
“That’s why we need good pitches, good fights. We need to boldly go to the ball in the penalty area. We now have good ball control and we create many chances, but the last serve does not reach the addressee. This moment worries me too.
“In my time, they said that a corner was 90 percent a goal. Then they played differently, there were large distances between the players. Of course, now the ratio is different, and we need to improve this component.”
Mircea Lucescu’s team has not lost in the Ukrainian Premier League for seven matches in a row. With 26 points, Dynamo are in fourth place in the UPL standings. In the next round, on November 26, the white and blue will play with Metalist 1925.
