Kostyuk: Organization of the game is what we emphasized before the match with Zhilina

0
The head coach of Dynamo Kyiv, Ihor Kostyuk, commented in a friendly match against Slovakia's Žilina (5:1). "The national team returned - and the game was already different: tactically, and the distances between the lines, and played more reliably in defense. Tomas Kendziora joined us. This player will add to our quality and confidence. Next to him, our players will progress. The competition has increased. Today was a much better game. Despite the fact that we played for 60 minutes, everyone endured this time, although the players are in the conditions of daily The two halves were intense, the main thing was the organization of the game. Signing new players? I have already said about Tomas - this is our conscious choice. We talked about it with the president. The advantage is that he is already adapted, knows the players, knows the team. We spoke before the signing and agreed that he should be like the right hand of the coach, a player who embodies the mentor's ideas by talking. We had a problem with communication, I think he will help with that. Regarding Mungenge - of course, he is a quality player, he was the captain of the youth team of PSG, he has experience of playing in the UEFA Youth League. He has all the qualities to create competition for Matvyi Ponomarenko, so that we have equal players in attack. Lonwijk and I talked, you probably heard from his interview, where he said that the coach trusts him and he wants to justify this trust. Now we can see in the training process how it works, how it fulfills our requirements. Like Mungenge, he will provide competition, quality in his position. Of course, we need to improve our game, because in the game with Zhilina we saw mistakes in quick transitions - something we emphasize. We need to improve our actions after losing the ball: how we prepare for these losses, how we go into attack. You saw today how we scored the second ball, how many times Redushko crossed the wing - this is exactly the fast football that the team strives for. We will play qualification matches in the same heat, so when there is an opportunity to hold training matches in similar conditions, it is good in terms of body adaptation, players getting used to the heat," the club's press service quotes Kostyuk as saying. Polish defender Tomas Kendzora shared earlier.
