Today, Dynamo meets with Lazio - at the moment the most productive team of Serie A, who scored 64 goals in 27 games. The Romans are fun in the Europa League, it's enough to recall the return match against Steaua (5: 1). Uneasy test for the people of Kiev, especially for their far from ideal protection.
Latsiyan will play aggressively. First, this is their typical manner, they even acted with Juventus first number. Secondly, the struggle for a place in the Champions League takes a lot of effort, so they will try to close all the questions already in the first match and go to Kiev "tourists". This is a chance for the counterattack Dynamo, good at their gates Lazio is not so convincing, but for a successful result, the team of Alexander Khatskevich needs to show a reliable and tactically competent football. Who said "bus"?.
We identified five of the most dangerous players in the Lazio. Of course, Simone Inzaghi's team has other cool performers, but this five deserves special attention.
Ciro Immobile This season: 34 matches, 32 goals, 10 assists (Europa League - 5/5/1) Strengths: distance speed, position selection, completion of attacks.
Immobile holds the best season in his career. He leads the Serie A scorers race, and his statistics reach the "1 match - 1 goal". Ciro was an amazing discovery for Lazio. He switched to the rank of "downed pilot" after the unsuccessful seasons in Seville with Borussia, but Inzaghi ideally entered him into the team's game. Attacks of the Romans are sharpened under the Immobile. Lazio prefers not to play the ball for a long time, and as soon as possible to deliver it to the striker, thanks to which the player has a space. Ciro is dangerous at speed, but even more dangerous directly in the penalty area, because he has an innate forward instinct.
The whole career of Immobile says that this is an extremely capricious football player who needs to create conditions, but if they are, then Ciro thanks with an excess of. In the season-2013/14 he with 22 goals became the best scorer of Seria A in the composition of Torino (remember their bunch with Churchy?), But now scored in the championship one more ball.
Luis Alberto This season: 36 matches, 8 goals, 11 assists (Europa League - 6/1/2) Strengths: accurate pass, field vision, speed of thinking.
Spanish attacking midfielder - the opening of this season. The path of this talented player abounded in failures (could not gain a foothold in Barcelona, ??Seville and Liverpool), and the first season in Lazio did not ask, so that Luis Alberto even thought about the early termination of his career. Fortunately, Inzaghi found an approach to him. His role is playmaker. He acts in conjunction with Immobile, supporting him from the depths. Below is the trio of central hooligans who provide Luis Alberto with the freedom of creativity. Thanks to this combination, the Spaniard revealed. He tries to instantly transfer the ball to Immobil, but if the situation has, then he can complete the attack himself.
The game of Luis Alberto so impressed that in November he made his debut for the national team of Spain. An impressive twist of fate: from depression and, literally, work with a psychologist for the sake of gaining confidence before real opportunity to go to the World Cup.
Felipe Anderson This season: 18 matches, 4 goals, 6 assists (Europa League - 3/1/2) Strengths: dribbling, accurate pass.
Simone Inzaghi, as a rule, uses one attacking hawa - Luis Alberto or Felipe Anderson. The Italian media, however, suggest that both will leave Dynamo, and the usual 3-5-1-1 module will be transformed into more aggressive 3-4-2-1. By the way, so Lazio played at home against Steaua.
The current statistics of the Brazilian is not particularly impressive. He was treated until December, and then clashed with Inzaghi, and the quarrel almost ended in a fight. Felipe Anderson, however, was pardoned and in recent matches looked even more convincing than several handed over Luis Alberto. He's good at making the game worse and giving assists. Felipe, unlike the Spaniard, gravitates to the flanks, where his technique is particularly appropriate. Recall and track record: Anderson was the leader of Lazio in the season-2014/15, when the Eagles took third place, and in 2016 won the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.
Nani This season: 17 matches, 3 goals, 2 assistants (Europa League - 4/0/0) Strengths: dribbling, accurate kick.
"Joker" in the composition of Lazio. Nani - the current champion of Europe - came to the team in the summer, but the main one did not become because of high competition. This, however, does not mean that the Portuguese can completely give up. He gave some bright matches in the championship, especially successful it is necessary to recognize the experiment in a meeting with Udinese (3: 0) - Immobil was disqualified, so a couple of forwards were Nani and Felipe Anderson, who understood each other perfectly. Nani is unlikely to come out against the Dynamo from the first minute, but the replacement definitely should appear. A player with such experience (147 matches for Manchester United!) And individual skill a priori dangerous.
Nani is a native of Cape Verde, a former Portuguese colony. His full name is Luis Carlos Almeida da Cunha, the nickname was given to him by an older sister at an early age.
Sergey Milinkovich-Savic This season: 35 matches, 11 goals, 6 assists (Europa League - 5/2/1) Strengths: physical strength, long-range strike.
The most expensive and desirable transfer lot in the composition of Lazio. The Romans do not agree to release him for 70 million euros and ask as much as a hundred, which by today's standards is justifiable. Milinkovich-Savic - midfielder with amazing data. With an increase of 191 cm. Sergei is quite technical, can both give the most accurate vertical transmission, and independently hit from behind the penalty. It must be carefully guarded at the corners.
Far from the fact that the Serb will appear today at the base (the Italians believe that Inzaghi will give him rest), but if Lazio has problems with Dynamo - wait for the owner of the double surname on the field.
The Milinkovich-Savich family devoted their life to sports. Sergei was born in the Spanish Leiden, where his father, Nikola Milinkovich. The second part of the surname comes from the mother - Milana Savich, a professional basketball player. Vanya, Sergey's younger brother, also plays in Serie A, and is the reserve goalkeeper Torino, which does not prevent him from effectively performing penalty.
