Fail, you want to deprive the 2023rd of their birth.
Following the football news at the end of 2023, we decided to prepare a text about the peculiarities of Ukrainian football, which were the most disappointing in the first part of this season. Important: I assessed the regression itself to the equator of the season, so, for example, Rotan will not be here. The fortunes of the characters before the start of the season gave great hope - and, unfortunately, they did not come true.

Headlines for the UPL season Volodymyr Salyuk Club: Chornomorets Specialization: central defender It is accepted that there are not so many good names in the UPL, as 10 reasons for that; that the Dnieper and Metalist, as there were before, are no longer there. But clubs such as Chornomorets demonstrate a reversed problem: if the club has a healthy army of patients, if it has a high level of respect, any successful win is already overestimated.
Saluk famously carried out the first part of the fate, having won the place in the main warehouse, steadily engraved for 90 minutes, and the team saw a nasty blow and left the villiota zone. A very young age (I was just over twenty years old), instantly putting Saluk on the short list of top clubs, and until then, all summer there were rumors.
In fact, Chornomorets is in harm's way because it didn't sell the Gravian at least for how much, but to be honest, Dynamo, with its disastrous center of defense, doesn't need such a defender. Saluk both relented from the position, lost the fight, and simply gave goals out of the blue - so that the endless patience of Grigorchuk would come to an end, and then put Volodymyr in the reserve. And, it’s not surprising, the team, which from Salukom threw at least two shots at each in four previous matches, immediately achieved a dry victory over Kolos.
Behind the great rack, the Salyuk case is the only one from which football Odessa you can guess football Manchester and Seville, Naples and Paris. The micro-section of a promising graver will immediately awaken the greatness of the community; You can see the bananas in action, and Svidomosti has a perfect picture; Then the insiders, who serve this community, talk about the interests of the grandees; And, knowing the rate of selection in the same Dynamo, we can easily see it as a prophecy that self-creates. Well, the exits often turn out to be zilch.
Nobody likes Volodymyr’s career, even a lot of centerbacks under 21 have not yet made their debut for the great Liza – but for now, any rumors about the top career, top clubs, the national team of Ukraine are simply forwarded.
Patrick Van Leeuwen Club: Shakhtar Specialization: coach Van Leeuwen's robot in Zorya was so ideal that I noticed some kind of trick. Well, we can’t be all good: so that the trainer and the youngsters are so open, and the “old” gravers are brought to a new level, and the entire selection of gravers, which is under his care, is put into the frame, so the game є very cool.
It turned out that all the “tricks” took the place of Zorya and took Shakhtar. Lugansk residents, understandably, did not give happiness, but the price is lower. Patrick is a good coach, so he could set up a simple game model with a quick way to attack, but in a situation where it was necessary to put on dominant football, it turned out to be quite unprofitable for the club.
It doesn’t sound brutal, but it’s like this: Shakhtar found it more comfortable to work without a coach, during the period of work after Van Leeuwen’s resignation and before Pusic’s recognition, at the same time as a “horse-bearing”, without a heavy hitter in the center of the field. It’s not just that Sudakov said that in 15 months with a new coach, the team has gained more understanding, less than in three months with the old one: the Dutch coach worked in such a way that it was important to open up both Sudakov’s eyes and the team’s eyes.
What's next, since Shakhtar's failure doesn't count against van Leeuwen's phenomenal, ideal work at Zorya. It would be wonderful to get him into any counter-attacking club a la Fulham, but there’s only one “ale” here. Everyone in great Europe just doesn’t care about the achievements in the Ukrainian championship - so Patrick will probably continue to walk around with both Ukrainian grandees and other grandees.
Vasyl Kravets Club: Dnipro-1 Specialization: central/extreme defender Do you remember those miraculous hours when some reserve gravel of a top league outsider arrived in Ukraine like a month? If the site was interested in analyzing the results of the Darmstadt game under a microscope, it would actually be one of the poor clubs of the major league in which the Ukrainians played? If you know this, you will be amazed at the great progress ours have achieved behind the cordon: the fact that the very fact that I have won competition from Yarmolyuk at Brentford does not guarantee my call to the national team.
Kravets is an example of how to build a career in the UPL, including his proud status of “legionnaire”. Having left Ukraine for another Spanish division, and not nearly achieving any status in the Fatherland (the main gravel of the Carpathians, who were then an outsider in the great league). There Vasil spent a good hour at the top, but lost competition in the outsider Leganes - and then moved between the Segunda and the Ekstraklasa.
Once the make-up was applied, and 90% of the legionnaires left the UPL, Kravets was needed - but the class was not given to him. It’s ironic that from Vorsklya to Dnipro-1 Vasily moved the same way not after a miracle season (Vorsklya scored everything they care about), but at the warehouse of the vice-champion in the whole building. The already established specialization is even more difficult: until now, Kravets has never played in the center of defense, and in 2023 he played as many as 20 matches there.
Kravets' trump card was the Swedish flank raids, but at the same time it's hard to believe. Vasily looks like a gravel out of shape: he must be important, because of his wealth. Skrypnyk, Kucher and Maksimov wanted to be the victor in the center of defense, but in this role Kravets is simply too weak – and for good reason he is in reserve. It’s strange that a football player’s career has gone into such a dark place in just 26 years.
Mikola Shaparenko Club: Dynamo Specialization: playmaker Poki Mykolenko claims to be the best left-back in the Premier League, Tsigankov is leading the Premier League, and Zabarny can move to the European top club in 21 years, the main talent of an entire generation will be lost from Dynamo no longer gloomily fight for the place at the heart of Dynamo.
Shaparenko’s problem is that he is willing to talk to his club without even talking about the national league. “The People’s Conquest” is a whole image in literature: if the hero realizes that he is not needed for marriage, he does not fit into the typical style of speeches. The first axis is now much more similar, so that Mikola is no longer needed by Dynamo.
Shaparenko is a gifted, thin gravel whose presence on the field can date Vinyatkov’s achievements. If it needs to be put into a strictly strict scheme, it needs to be cleaned in defense – and, as we all know, it is also traumatic. And since it was still possible to believe for Lucescu that he was resuscitating the playmaker, then everything that Dynamo showed for Shovkovskiy reflects the very position of Shaparenko.
Dynamo doesn’t hesitate to play against his opponent, he gives you the ball without any problems. Shovkovsky, as an assistant coach, was tired of following the torment of Dynamo against the buses, clearly forgiving the group and the club becoming more effective. Andrievsky does not have 1% of the genius of Shaparenko, but is universal, more understandable, you may find yourself in need of such simple football. And the greatest geniuses - Pearlo, Baggio, Mata - were not needed in the singing schemes.
We all know where to go. The appearance of Shaparenko is a great sign of nutrition, who can we take from such traumatic and simply wasted fate. Moje, Girona? Unlikely, obviously. You can, I Shovkovsky for Zbori, know the Mass for the playmaker - Ale abed, all the fluency, Scho Shaparenko, Yak Milevsky that Aliyv, not even good, I have now a licher about the deprivation (Chi club - Chi is not so important).
Dawn in the full warehouse Ale, honestly, writing in the head failure of the dynamists is perhaps too much to think about. This is how it happens in intellectual games: if one option is abysmal, and there is a difference between the average and the strong winner, then he thinks to think about it, throw the one as prompted, and go to the correct one..
Well, as the minds of Popov, Buschan and, more importantly, Vanat especially regressed for this time? The time has come to recognize that the vigor of the dynamic youth (those who lost, and did not go to develop the Premier League and Primera) we have simply overestimated; they just can’t get any better than the stench. And the Zorya axis passed by hero to zero for all record terms.
Just this spring, the Luhansk team looked like a standard for the development of the team in this difficult hour. A team that is so good at identifying promising young people and restarting the careers of underrated players; team that plays attacking football; the team that respects the skin's penny, but also respects what they can afford: Guerrero, having signed a full-fledged contract as a full-fledged star. All this, starting from the summer, did not crash, but flew into the abyss.
It’s already been said more about Van Leeuwen, but the club couldn’t replace the problem. Lalatovich having arrived, having gone – and, it seems, it’s not clear where he’s gone. The performance hardly bothered him: she became 19th in as many as twelve years of work, and the coach already knew the work of Spartak iz Subotica (saving the work of the Russian - that’s good). It’s not really enough to justify an even emotional leader who can “pump up” the team, but in order to fight for high places, I’ll need more.
Until then, Zorya’s coaches showed nothing, abandoning the team from the fight for the championship to the fight for survival. And it’s already tempting to marvel at the footage.
It was not possible to replace the spending commands without any problems. Turbaevsky is a goalkeeper for youth football, not a battle against Maccabi. Pain is important for everything, the central zahisnik for the new one, ale vin mayzhe y ne grave. And those who played were the ones who pushed the Lugansk defense from being one of the lowest teams in the league to being one of the largest. Those who lost their place in the team have fared very well: Guerrero, purely from his behavior on the field, looks like a star in the most meaningful word - a star, as if to discourage affection by the very fact of entering the field.
Now, if you try to understand the problem of the Lugansk team, it’s easy to come up with a super banal idea: behind their rival, the Zorya team has caught up with the Zorya club. Zorya has so many resources that we can’t send a photographer to all our matches, and we’re talking about competition from Kryvbas, Polissyam, Rukh. Imerek, after a wonderful season, went to the modest Atromitos - and then some surprising decisions were made: the group round is ahead, as a minimum, of the Conference League!
It immediately became clear that Imerekova’s decision was Solomon’s, but the point is that it is purely behind the minds, which gravets is taken away from Zorya, and another mental division of Poland can be found as a more comfortable option. The club is alive today, with the situation at the front being resolved, it is becoming increasingly difficult to return to Lugansk - and it’s a wonder that the club spent ten years in the European Cup zone, and did not follow the path of the Donetsk Olimpik kalka rock and that's why.
Not until recently after the emergency departure from Lugansk Zorya was the world so hopeless.
