The Dinamo team is unexpectedly instilling confidence. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
This confidence arises not from closing one’s eyes, following the usual course, or due to old memories, but because there are clear evidences on the field. In the Bratsk Cup, the "white-blue" team achieved two different victories: one in terms of score, the other in terms of game quality.
But is the situation of the Moscow club really that good? Karapin's dual role Karapin is back in Moscow, but this time he is working not with "Spartak," but with "Dinamo."
This could be a sign of a political conflict arising in the Russian championship. The leaders of "Zenit," "Spartak," and "Lokomotiv" are worried about this situation, discussing conflicts of interest from the sidelines.
Officially, Karapin has the right, but in practice, this brings significant benefits to "Dinamo." He has the opportunity to join the main team, understands the opponents better, and gains the trust of players who dream of being called up to the national team.
Karapin takes this with humor: “Should we put on the candles? We will,” he says.
This irony serves as his defense, and the pressure continues to mount. Especially if the national team faces difficulties and "Dinamo" grows, the political tension will increase.
Test with the Serbian team The 4:0 victory against OFK was an expected result, but at the beginning of the game, "Dinamo" was in danger twice. Goalkeeper Lunev stopped the opponent in two situations.
However, there are still problems in defense. The defense was weak during the previous coach Martsel Lichka's era.
Karapin found a temporary solution through Osipenko. This transfer was very successful: Osipenko scored in his debut and showed that he has completely adapted to the team.
The situation was more complicated in the game against Partizan. Although the score was 3:1, the first half raised concerns.
Vanja Dragovich closed Fomin and was the cause of Miloshevich's goal. In such situations, Karapin would have faced harsh criticism in the Russian championship.
But the team responded: Fomin corrected his mistake, and young player Stepanov, despite being only 16 years old, scored after Bokov's passes. The youth are not afraid, this is Karapin's legacy.
Situations outside the game Gladyshev and Bitello are considered the main drivers of the new "Dinamo." Yaroslav looks like the first version of the future Arshavin.
If he does not burn out, he could be the best striker this season. Bitello, in terms of style, is unmatched in the championship.
His pass to Osipenko teaches the geometry of the field. However, there are also problems.
These are not visionary "lashes." The right wing is disorganized in the absence of Tyukavin, the left wing is weak, there are problems in converting opportunities, and the level of physical preparation is low.
Karapin needs to take these situations seriously. Sergeev, Karraskal, and major transfers Karraskal is planned to be sold three times, but he is still participating in training.
"Dinamo" demands 14 million euros as a one-time payment, which is a firm and important position. "Flamengo" is still trying to lower the price during the trade, but Karaskal is needed until September, by which time Tyukavin is expected to recover and Sergeev to join the team.
Acquiring Sergeev is logical, but not a revolutionary step. He is an experienced striker, but after the disagreement with "Spartak," it is questionable whether he dreamed of going to the "white-blues."
Karapin is a determined and humorous coach, attracting players layer by layer. "Dinamo" is growing before our eyes.
The team is finally showing a systematic game. Coach
