Roman Petrenko - about the personnel situation on the flanks of the attack of the Kiev club.

Kiev Dynamo under Alexander Khatskevich increasingly returns to the Ukrainian fold. A number of unsuccessful acquisitions of players from all over the world eventually turned the path of the club's personnel policy towards their own young cadres. They Dynamo was famous since the Soviet times, and the current economic situation to some extent favors the trust of their pupils. This applies directly to high-quality players on the flanks of the attack. Performers level Jermain Lens is unlikely to go to Ukraine, and the era of Oleg Gusev, to the deepest regret of the Kiev and not only the fans, ended.

However, and now rely on whom to rely on. After the departure of Andrei Yarmolenko to Germany, Viktor Tsygankov really opened up, and now, according to his example, the next generation of yesterday's doublers is ready to go. Such as the year younger Bogdan Lednev, the overtly overgrown level of the youth team and having every chance to compete for the main clip. And these chances are quite tangible, because the other day there was information about the possible return to Latin America Derylis Gonzalez. Paraguayan has long been not eager to progress in Kiev, and keep in reserve an expensive football player in Ukraine can only afford to Miner. The 24-year-old winger is inclined to move to his homeland, where he can move to Cerro Porteno.

In the winter, the Dynamo replenished with Benjamin Verbic from Danish Copenhagen. The Slovenian quite quickly drove Derylas out of the base, having managed to hold several decent fights. For example, with Shakhtar and Zarei, in which he noted beautiful goals. And indeed, Verbich quite-himself operatively fit into the game model of the Kiev club. But in fact to have only two main edges Dynamo can not afford. Ideally, at least two equal performers for each position. Moreover, the legionaries who are in our championship, as a rule, use it as a springboard for Western European football. I do not hint at anything, it just happened historically ... At the disposal of Khatskevich there are still candidates for the flanks of the attack. They are not so few. First of all, it is the universal Nikolai Morozyuk, who is more often regarded as a replacement for Pole Tomasz Kendzera on the right flank of the defense. But returned from Odessa and Lugansk wanderings, Vladislav Kalitvintsev has long been waiting for his chance in his native club, but then injuries, his own uncertain game does not allow the son of the legendary Dynamo of the 90s to uncover all the facets of his obvious talent. A great kick from both legs, a quality last pass, a great vision of the field: all with him!.

Even with Sergei Rebrov in the position of the left winger, Denis Garmash was auditioned. Tried for a short time, but very successfully. Excellent held the spring of last year and it even seemed that the knight of the center of the field found, finally, a more optimal place on the field. Alas, no follow-up. Denis returned to the central foothold, and on the left flank continued experiments. Gonzalez could give out one fine duel, then frankly fail two, or even three.

In the current extended cage of Kiev there is also a super-perspective Georgy Tsitaishvili. He is only 17, and he already made his debut in the first team and continues to actively connect to the training process. Among the peers, Ukrainian Georgians stood out from childhood, and now (along with the Dniproinist Vladislav Supryaga and "miner" Alexei Kashchuk) is the recognized leader of the generation of the year 2000. George is able to play out of the box and take the initiative. Nowadays these qualities are piece goods, especially among young people. At the same time, many representatives of elite division teams can envy George's technical equipment. However, while Tsitaishvili is unlikely to be regarded as a potential player of the foundation. All the same, 17 years is, whatever one may say, 17 years. With all the inherent instability and other consequent.

But Lednev is a much more real candidate. Despite the fact that he gravitates to the right flank, where the Gypsies dominate, Bogdan is able to redirect to the position of the left winger. As an option, no one excludes the exchange of flanks directly during the game, which is successfully done in a number of strong teams. Lednev possesses a host of qualities necessary for the player of his role. He is sharp, fast, and with a stroke - and there are no problems at all.

He beats from both legs, and the ball sometimes flies in an unprecedented trajectory. One of Lednev's trump cards is the notorious shift from the flank and a biting, jerky, finishing shot. In this regard, he reminds Yevgeny Konoplyanka in the best Dnieper years of the present Gelsenkirchentsian. By the way, in the last preseason sparring of Kiev with the Romanian Botosani (1: 0), Bogdan marked a beautiful goal just in this style. So now - a word for the coaching staff.
