Lucescu blames psychology for Dynamo's latest setbacks
Dynamo Kyiv head coach Mircea Lucescu commented on his team's defeat in a UPL game with Zorya (2:3).
"There was a lot of nerves and fuss. This allowed the opponent to organize and go out in good counterattacks, that ended in goals. Our guys had a great desire and, on the contrary, it didn't help them. They were in a hurry and fussed. Plus, a quick opponent's goal had an effect.
Before the match, I told the players that we were going through a difficult moment. In addition to unsuccessful results, there were also injuries. First we lost Tsygankov, then Popov. Ovcharenko was taken to the hospital last night. All this affects the general condition of the team. Before we never had such a difficult period due to defeats.
We can move well, but as far as psychology is concerned, we have problems. There are many factors that create a nervous atmosphere in the team.
For the time being, we need to get ready for the next match, to get ready for Fenerbahce. In the championship, we can still make up for the lost points, but in the Europa League we need to cling to every game".
