Kiev mentor complained about the team’s scoring mistakes
Main coach Dynamo Mircea Lucescu said that Benfica were stronger than Kiev in both qualifying playoff matches Champions League. The mentor was dissatisfied with the large number of mistakes of his wards.
“Benfica were better than Dynamo today. I don’t want to apologize. Benfica were superior to Dynamo in both games, even though we played amazing games.”
“We have a big problem. It is impossible to make as many mistakes as today. Players are not ready to play at this level. Before the game I said Benfica were better than us and today was the perfect test. Could have conceded six or seven goals. There is a big difference between the two teams.
We gave Benfica the opportunity to score. The first goal was the mistake of our goalkeeper, the second was the mistake of the defender, who gave the ball to Rafa Silva. And the third was the result of another mistake of ours, which gave rise to a counterattack.”
“We want to keep playing football. We want to create an image of a country that wants to continue to live. I hope that the players will recover mentally after this game. It will be a difficult year, but we must keep playing. It will be important for everyone.”
“Today we could not count on Popov and Tsygankov. I hope they recover soon and help the team.”
Benfica defeated Dynamo in the second leg (3:0). Recall that one of the goals was scored by former Shakhtar winger David Neres.
Roger Schmidt’s team advanced to the group stage of the Champions League. Dynamo will continue playing in the Europa League.
