The Ballon d’Or winner criticized Dynamo for the game with Salzburg

Kyiv club legend Igor Belanov was disappointed with the level of play shown by the players.

The current generation of Dynamo players is completely devoid of character, will, sportsmanship and anger. So says the legendary player of Kyiv club Igor Belanov.

According to the Ballon d’Or winner, these qualities are precisely what the white-blues lack to qualify for the Champions League Salzburg.

“Of course, it’s a shame that everything worked out for Dynamo, but it should still be taken into account that last week they played a good team that the opponents allowed Dynamo to play.

Partizan is a weak team, Glasgow Rangers have been a bit stronger. And as soon as they reached Salzburg, the Kievans laid down their arms without entering the group rotation. Therefore, you should not draw conclusions from the game with the same Partizan, which scored nine goals in two matches, but focus on opponents like Salzburg. The level of a team’s abilities is assessed when you play against strong clubs and beat them.

It is against the backdrop of such matches that the true ability of a particular team is determined. But right now I don’t see this level. And this applies not only to Dynamo. As soon as our team faces a more or less serious opponent, then, like a litmus test, it becomes clear who is capable of what. During my active participation in football, a strong team was always annoying for us.

Dynamo Kyiv of the 70-90s always wanted to defeat the giants of the leading football countries to show their best side. Like Bayern, Real, Barcelona. But I don’t see it in our youth of the current generation. Although every Dynamo player on the field must show character, will, sportsmanship and anger. If they don’t win matches like in Salzburg, it means that they are not capable or afraid of the opponent. But there is no need to be afraid – in a match against a strong team you have to prove yourself. After all, people are watching your game and then they will tell you: why are you scared?” Belanova was quoted by Sport.ua.

We remind you that Dynamo played a draw in the away game against Salzburg and did not enter the main round of the Champions League. Today the “white-blues” will play in the Europa League.
