The former coach of Dynamo Kyiv believes that there are no worthy midfielders in the current squad of the capital club.
József Szabó did not hesitate to find words when describing Nikolai Shaparenko’s performance against Lazio. According to the former coach of Dynamo and the national team, the weak performance of the midfield was one of the main reasons for the failure of the “white-blues” in the opening match of the Europa League.
In addition, the specialist accused journalists and fans of Shaparenko’s poor performance, because they allegedly made a star out of the football player, which he was not yet.
“The truth in football has long been known: show me your central line and I will tell you what kind of team you have.
Shaparenko is running, he has been molded into an unknown person… Forgive me, but you, the journalists, made him a star! They were lifted up to heaven. What do we see? Well, both hands are outlined. He will also get a tattoo on his neck or forehead! They wrote that they would give millions for him. They don’t care about it! For what?” – Sport-express.ua quoted Sabo.
We remind you that Dynamo lost to Lazio in a nominally home match in the Europa League. The Kiev team will play their next UPL game against another capital club, Left Bank. The match is scheduled for Sunday, September 29.
