A coach from Kiev shared his opinion on the team's performance in the UPL.

Dynamo head coach Mircea Lucescu summed up the year ended for Kiev after the match with Zorya (1: 1).

" The team is playing, the guys are growing, there are a lot of young people, especially in the back line - hence the mistakes. We are waiting for Popov's return - maybe with his presence the game in defense will become more reliable. It is also difficult to do without Besedin ahead - although we scored without him, he is an important player for us. They can be called irreplaceable for us. I hope they will pass the winter training camp and start the second part of the season with us..

Shakhtar has greatly strengthened its roster, the club bought high-quality expensive players, and now the level of Shakhtar and Dynamo is equal. And such referee errors can decide the fate of the championship.. We lost 4 points precisely because of such refereeing mistakes..

It's good that Dnipro-1 and Zarya have pulled up, that they are participating in the fight for the championship. But I would not want the referees to influence this fight. It will be very difficult to restore this difference in glasses later.. Referee errors must not affect the tournament situation.

Since we are now equal with Shakhtar, I want everything to be decided on the field.

On January 13 we are going, from 14 to 16 we train in Kiev, on the 17th we fly to Spain. After this stage, we return home for a couple of days, after which, with a break for several days, we will have two more training camps in Turkey, "

After the first half of the season, Dynamo takes second place in the UPL standings, two points behind the leading Shakhtar.
