Results of the first part of the season.
Forecast Football. Ua on the spring part: "In the winter Roman Sanzhar had to survive deja vu: the team, as in every transfer window, left its main performers: Petrov, Baranovsky, Tanchik and Lysenko, who, at least, was on the security. At the same time, habitually, the club lets its players free of charge, after signing modest contracts with strong football players, agrees to release them without any claims at any time ... Sam Roman Sanjar again says that the team has become weaker, began to be cautious when it comes to the first Six, and was crushed, they say, again have to play and pull players already in the course of the championship. But in fact, Olympique all this was already going on, and Roman Sanjar himself solved with honor even more problematic tasks. And now he has a chance to prove once again that Olympique is a purely coaching team that does not depend on individual players to change their style and seriously fall into the standings ".
On the eve of the start of the season, Olympic did not seem to have any prerequisites to be considered even a contender for the fight for getting into the TOP-6. Sam Roman Sanzhar after the second round in an interview with our site evaluated the existing staff situation in the team as follows: "In the summer we left the players, which are usually called the backbone. At the training camp I simulated various variants of composition and tactical nuances. But so far our game shows that we failed to properly replace the departed guys. The picture of the game and the result leave much to be desired ". Olympic at that time without a chance to lose a crushing Zara and a miracle in the last seconds snatched a draw in a match against Volhynia, which a week before lost in the Dnieper - 0: 5. What major tasks could be talked about at that time?.
Of course, the complexity of the situation was understood by Sanjar. He said directly: yes, the players who came are not stronger than the departed, we play poorly, the results are unsatisfactory, the task is to run young people-it was the coach who wanted to bet on him, and let young Kornev and Khomutov come to the base (later Tsymbalyuk was added to them, but already In other circumstances). But the main thing was that the losses and acquisitions were incommensurable, and this directly affected the game, and the results, and the prospects of this team: Conde left, Moha and Ogir (all the main ones), Kornev, Kvashuk, Baranovsky and Oleynik - the players clearly have no stellar status and are of questionable quality (it seemed so at the time, but the same Baranovsky with his game proved his skills). But unexpectedly, after a few rounds, the club was able to sign Bogdanov and rent Grinya - and the team's game changed! In 2016, Olympique won 8 fights - and it was quite a serious lot to consider the team as one of the favorites in the fight for getting into the top six.
True, in winter something happened that characterizes Olympique as a club - the leaders left again. This time - a couple of irreplaceable central defenders Baranovsky-Petrov, with whom were linked all the successes of the team in the first part of the championship. Plus, they were joined by Lysenko and Drachenko - players who are under the base. However, the team was in fifth place, and the prospects still get into the top six were quite good. In the second stage of the championship, Olympic won only three games, but at the same time, seven finished in a draw. At the same time, Olympic defeated the Dynamo, and in the course of the season, he managed to take three points from the Miner three times. Serious score points in the autumn allowed the team for three more rounds to finish - after winning games with Chernomorets and Dynamo - finish the season with confidence that the European League is nowhere to go anywhere from it. It was de facto, not de jure, but still. As a result, Olympique finished fourth, and will play in the new season in European competition.
Of course, not to mention the work of Roman Sanzhar will not work - this coach proved by his own work that even in poor conditions for work (problems with training fields and conditions for the restoration of players), with little funding, low salaries for players, a lack of a home stadium and loss of leaders every Half a year, you can create a team that at one point even forced Zara to fight for third place. Bravo!.
The best player - Anton Postalenko The central attacking midfielder spent his best season in his career. Seven balls, plus - two assistants, as well as averaged indicators in 2.1 key transfers and 5 strokes per match - the results of Progress in the season. From the minuses - Anton received two red cards, showing indiscipline. But when this football player on the field - it always comes from the sharpness of someone else's gate.
The best scorer - Anton Postuplenko Seven goals in the championship made Progressor even the best scorer of the team. Among the persecutors - Matyazh with five goals and Bogdanov - with four.
The best match: Olimpic - Shakhtar- 1: 1 It was a historic draw - for the first time Olympic took away points in the derby. But if someone then said that at the end of the season, Olympic in four matches will play a draw with Shakhtar three times - no one would have believed. That draw was special, and the subsequent ones were perceived much more calmly.
The worst match: Chernomorets - Olimpic - 3: 0 Olimpic played ugly on the defense as a whole, and at the standards at their gates - in particular. Double Martynenko, plus a late goal Barilco - and Olympique in the first four rounds suffered a second crushing defeat. About TOP-6, and, moreover, about the zone of the League of Europe, no one then could not think. But already in the sixth, seventh and eighth rounds the team won three wins in a row. The same series was from 13 to 15 rounds.
Optimum composition in the spring part: Makharadze - Shestakov, Grishko, Illoy-Ayet, Nemchaninov - Bogdanov, Brickner - Grin, Podrestenko, Moha - Sergiychuk.
Due to the injury of Partzvaniya Roman Sanzhar had to be lowered to the position of defender Shestakov, which created certain problems on the flank of midfield. On the right, Grin, Sergiychuk, and Shestakov himself played, when Oleynik. But with their task the players coped and not on their native positions.
Coach: Roman Sanjar Coach created a serious combat unit of players whose individual qualities do not imply such good team results.
And in the summer of 2016, and in the winter Olympic left leaders - seemingly irreplaceable performers. But the mentor easily replaced them and led the team to a historical result. For the third year of his tenure in the Premier League, Olimpic is close to the bronze medals and will play for the first time in European competition in the new season - at least from the sports point of view he already deserved this right.
