MOSCOW, May 31, Oleksandr Govorov. Former Ukrainian Dynamo coach Andrey Voronin could rally the players with authority and toughness, with his departure the Dynamo ceased to be one team. Without defender Ivan Ordets, the defensive game fell apart, said Vyacheslav Koloskov, honorary president of the Russian Football Union. Voronin has been a member of the Dynamo coaching staff since October 2020. In March, he reached an agreement with the club to terminate the contract by agreement of the parties. «As for Voronin, with his authority and rigidity (he) managed to rally the team. With him it was a team of like-minded people, there was a high game discipline. After Voronin, it all went away,» — said Koloskov. Another representative of Ukraine in Dynamo, defender Ivan Ordets, did not play for the club in the spring part of the season. «What Ordets lacked was 100%. Dynamo's defense simply fell apart without him and became the most vulnerable link. In the same place, they also had injuries to either the right or left back. Their replacements were not of such high quality. Ordets is a huge loss,” Koloskov noted. “So Schwartz absolutely rightly talks about how their (Voronin and Ordets) absence affected in the 2021/22 season, Dynamo finished third in the Russian Championship and reached the final of the Russian Cup, where they lost to Spartak Moscow. At the end of the season, Sandro Schwartz announced his resignation as head coach of the Blues.
