Help balance the team.
However, the Dinamo managers recalled the problematic position of the defensive midfielder in the team and decided to strengthen it. Moscow for next season The midfielder of the Israeli national team Eden Kartsev flies – he moved on loan to the “campo dei biancoazzurri”. This is good news, now Moro will have a replacement and will not have to spend the entire season on the pitch without the possibility of rotation.
Moro was the team’s only defensive midfielder.
A player in such an energy-consuming position cannot be left without a replacement. Horvath takes on a large amount of work, but begins to give in. He is the second Dynamo player in terms of assists per game (50.3) with an accurate pass rate of 80.6%. Moro has a good first pass: the midfielder dispersed the attack in the 13th minute of the match with Rostov, passing to Zakharyan. The episode received a logical conclusion in the form of a Fedor Smolov strike, but there was no goal. Nikola feels the moment to pass: in the 60th minute he gave a touch to Vyacheslav Grulev. But now there is a feeling that he does not have time to play against the opponent and periodically allows aggravations in his own half.
Jokanovic, in search of a solution to the problem, paired Moro with Luka Gagnidze for the match against Krylia – at least this idea has brought results. Together they made 92 passes. Gagnidze took over on the defensive and made 10 tackles and 4 interceptions. As a result, a couple of midfielders were the most involved in the game.
The mentor of the Muscovites was pleased with the results of the reshuffle:
Luka played a great game, showed his character, was always looking for the ball. Don’t forget that this is still a very young player who came out first in the beginning. We have another option to play in the center of the pitch, and this is great news for me and for the team.
However, this does not solve the problem of the lack of a replacement – not to mention the fact that it is more difficult to put Daniil Fomin and Arsen Zakharyan in the 4-4-2 (Jokanovich also noted the dependence of the game plan on Zakharyan’s game) .
Under these conditions, the purchase of Kartsev, as expected, should take away part of the burden on Moro. If you keep the 4-3-3 scheme (in order not to lose someone from the Fomin-Zakharyan, Grulev / Lesovoi-Smolov-Makarov group), Nikola, in addition to Kartsev, can also be replaced by Gagnidze (he plays a little higher, but he can be effective as an option).
The dynamo notes Kartsev’s athleticism: it can help in defense
However, Moro is a more pass-oriented defensive midfielder, but not always reliable in the event of an interception / counterattack. The “white-blue” have a predilection for attack, from the group of defenders – left-back Dmitry Skopintsev (Dinamo’s best in tackling), the always injured Diego Laxalt, the rookie central defender Roberto Fernandez and the young Kutitsky and Sazonov.
Kartsev in this regard will help balance the team – to add to the defensive actions. In Israel the midfielder played “six” and “eight”, even if his profile is a support zone.
Zeljko Buvac, Deputy Director General for Sport for Muscovites, after signing the contract with Kartsev, noted:
Eden is a true athlete with great technique and a great desire to progress and achieve high career goals. We are sure it won’t take long to join the team. Kartsev will help us play in a more consistent and balanced way.
Now Jokanovic has a choice in the middle of the field, albeit a small one. Reinforcements still require a position on the right wing of the defense, where Parshivlyuk plays alone, and on the left in defense – there is Laksalt in place of Skopintsev, but it makes sense to continue working with the Uruguayan, who spends most of the season on sick leave.
He can focus on the game and other transfer goals
The breeders wanted to bring Rubens from Atlético Mineiro to Dynamo. The 21-year-old Brazilian plays as a left-back in his first year as a senior. At the same time, in matches where Rubens is out in the first few minutes, his average rating is 7.28-7.5.
The totalized data shows that the Brazilian tries to cover the entire left edge: he acts with the ball for its entire length. At the same time, the actions are more designed for defense, Rubens is the leader for the number of tackles per game (3.5), but for the number of assists he is one of the worst.
The second player who can join the Dynamo team is Cesar Montes of Mexico’s Monterrey. The central defender could sign a contract with the capital’s team in the near future: according to the player’s agent, the bianconeri are in talks with Monterrey. If he is acquired, the problems with the defense center can be considered solved.
Dinamo get results, but the match with Krasnodar will show a lot
Right now, Dynamo is in fifth place in the Russian Premier League standings. The team remains undefeated and is the third for the number of goals scored.
It only has to be considered that Slavisha Jokanovic’s departments had rivals Torpedo and Krylya Sovetov (the former too weak, the latter in crisis), the Muscovites are already losing points with Rostov, which is comparable in level, randomly giving a draw to Fakel, which leads 2: 0.
The coach sees this as a lack of character:
We started the second half very badly, conceding two easy goals. We didn’t play well enough on defense. The game we had to collect turned out to be very difficult for us.
One Kartsev will not radically change the situation, but it is absolutely necessary to move in this direction. Now I have to hold on to Rubens and Montes.
