Football. ua analyzes which of the available forwards Dynamo forward can replace Congolese in the match of the second round of the League of Europe.
On the eve of the flight to Belgrade it became known that Alexander Khatskevich in the match with Partizan will not be able to count on the leading forward of the team Diemercy Mbokani. Mentor himself at the pre-match press conference, the absence of the Congolese explained that the 31-year-old player has health problems, because of which Diemercy will probably miss the next match of the national championship. Let's analyze which of the attackers available in the clip from Khatskevich can replace Mbokani in a duel with Partizan.
Junior Moraes Brazilian striker, who returned from the Chinese lease in the summer, was at first considered almost the main candidate for sale, but it turned out otherwise. Moraes gradually gained the confidence of Alexander Khatskevich, and from the nominally fourth striker turned, in fact, into the nearest reservist of the raging Mbokani. The 30-year-old has even managed to score a scoring goal at Skenderbeu's goal (3-1) in the first round of the group stage of the Europa League, with the resultant Brazilian strike largely reversing the course of that match. By the way, in that meeting in order to score, Moraes needed only 3 (!) Minutes. Is not it an indicator of high qualification forwards? !!.
In the absence of Mbokani, with a high probability, Junior will take the only vacancy at the forefront of Kiev's attacks. A fast, sufficiently technical and always goal-oriented football player can become a full-fledged replacement for his Congolese colleague, if one does not take into account the game on the second floor. In the rest, Moraes has little inferior to the leader of Dynamo attacks, and the motivation to show his best qualities to the Brazilian obviously will not be.
Artem Kravets That's really who really pomotal on the lease of a difficult football fate. After an unsuccessful business trip to German Stuttgart and a slightly more successful voyage to the Spanish Granada, Artem seems to have decided to finally gain a foothold in his native club. Such a chance was presented to him by Alexander Khatskevich. Now the storm of Valencia quite regularly goes on the field, however from the first minutes appears infrequently. Only in the match with Steel (4: 1), once promising striker came on the field from the first minutes and was able to double-check in the gates of Kamchane. In the current graduation of the attackers, Dynamo Kravets is still only the third of four, which, however, does not prevent him from regularly calling himself under the banner of the national team. Artem may well be considered as one of the most likely candidates for the place of the only striker in the game with Partizan, however, I think that Khatskevich still prefer the Ukrainian Moraes.
Artem Besedin If in the past season the young namesake Kravets actually headed the attack of the Kiev club alone, at the moment Besedin is only the fourth forward of Dynamo. Moreover, even in the application for the matches, the 21-year-old striker does not always get. Of the five matches in the current national championship of the native of Kharkov, only a duel with Steel was held in full, having at the same time inscribed his name in the section of the authors of goals. In this situation, Artem has to get the necessary game practice in the youth team, which does not match the potential and ambitions of the player. Even in the absence of Mbokani, the maximum that Besedin can count on under the current dispositions is a substitute in case the Kyivans need to recoup either under force majeure in the form of injuries to Moraes or Kravets. In this connection, the probability of appearance of a talented striker in the number of the first eleven actually approaches zero.
Game in two forwards Option tactical scheme in two clean forward in the Kiev club began to apply in the September Premier League matches. Usually, Moraes stepped out with Mbokani, but the Congolese, as you know, will not play in Belgrade.
In this case, the imaginary pair Moraes-Kravets or Moraes-Besedin becomes one of the variations in the construction of Kiev's attacking actions. Meanwhile, such a scenario, if possible, is highly unlikely. In the away match, albeit with empty stands, the Dynamo probably will act according to the usual pattern with one striker, and only in case of a negative for the course of the meeting, Hatzkiewicz, as in the return game with Maritim (3-1), will release the second striker. However, as it will be in reality, it will be shown directly by the match at the stadium with the name of Partizan.
