Squad

Andrii Iarmolenko in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Dynamo Kyiv this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

The dugout

A promise honoured at Dynamo Kyiv

Something was said to Mateusz Kochalski and then it happened. In this industry that passes for remarkable, and the dressing room noticed faster than any supporter could.

Squad

Daniil Yurchenko stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Daniil Yurchenko and Dynamo Kyiv agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Loan watch

Illia Olkhovyi wants to come home

“I did not go to Kolos to sit and watch. I want to come back to Dynamo Kyiv and fight for my place.” 0 appearances in 14 matches say the rest.

The dugout

When it matters, Andrii Iarmolenko plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

The dugout

Kostiantyn Vivcharenko knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Dynamo Kyiv, and both men came out saying it was fine.

The dugout

Mykola Mykhailenko has been promised minutes

A conversation in the manager’s office, and a commitment that came out of it. Promises like that are cheap to make and expensive to break, and Mykola Mykhailenko has written the date down.

Market

The Matvii Ponomarenko question follows Dynamo Kyiv around

Every press conference now starts and ends the same way: with Matvii Ponomarenko’s future. The manager has run out of new ways to say nothing.

Squad

Nazar Voloshyn is training like a man with a point to make

Nobody has promised him anything and he has not asked. The coaching staff have noticed, which at this stage of a season is the only thing that matters.

Match

Cup progress for Dynamo Kyiv

A 4‑1 win over Prykarpattia, a place in the next round, and the quiet arithmetic every supporter does on the walk home: how many more until a final?

The dugout

Ruslan Neshcheret says Dynamo Kyiv went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Player ratings

A brace, and Daniil Yurchenko takes the afternoon — 8.29

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Daniil Yurchenko provided it, and the 8.29 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Player ratings

Taras Mykhavko, 21, steals the show — 7.83

Marked 7.83 at 21, in a side that makes no allowances for age. He did not need any, and he looked the least nervous man on the pitch.

Player ratings

Vitaliy Buialskyi, 33, rolls back the years — 8.31

There is an age at which every good afternoon gets described as a throwback, which is unfair and also accurate. 8.31 at 33, and nobody on the pitch was better.

Match

9 unbeaten for Dynamo Kyiv

Hard to beat is not the same as winning, but 9 matches without defeat is a foundation Dynamo Kyiv did not have in the autumn.

Market

Dynamo Kyiv may not be able to give Mateusz Kochalski what he wants

It is the most legitimate ambition in the sport and the hardest for most clubs to satisfy. Mateusz Kochalski wants continental football; whether Dynamo Kyiv can provide it is a question about the next two seasons, not about him.

Squad

Words exchanged at Dynamo Kyiv

David Schlager and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

The terraces

One of their own: Taras Mykhavko

He is 21 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.

In brief
