DBasia.news – Anyone can make the Champions League a stage to shine on, whether it’s a young or senior player. The Champions League is also the right place for scouts to monitor talented players who have not been seen before.
Among the names of talented players in the squad for this season’s Champions League team, a new name is now being considered, he is Ruslan Neshcheret. Foreign to his name? Understandably, he had only played in Dynamo Kyiv’s first team once.
His debut took place in the Ukrainian Premier League on October 31 against SC Dnipro (recently). Not many follow the Ukrainian Premier League as do the Premier League, Serie A and LaLiga. No doubt Neshcheret’s name has not been heard before.
But now European football lovers are starting to hear his name, especially those who watched the match between Barcelona and Dynamo Kyiv at the Camp Nou, Thursday (05/11) am, in the continued Champions League match.
Dynamo lost 1-2 to goals scored by Lionel Messi (penalty) and Gerard Pique which was reduced by Viktor Tsyhankov’s goal. However, Mircea Lucescu’s team appeared persistent and never gave up.
Even though Dynamo were not strengthened by several key players in the first team due to the corona virus and only had 13 names brought to Camp Nou. In the midst of these difficulties Dynamo has a young diamond that needs to be honed, namely Neshcheret.
Neshcheret was brought from the B team to the first team as the mainstay goalkeepers were also positive for the corona virus. Who would have thought that in his second match with Dynamo Neshcheret he performed well and made Camp Nou in the Champions League a stage where he showed off.
Squawka recorded 12 saves made by Neshcheret against Barcelona. Neshcheret’s name is third in the list of saves in one match in the Champions League. That’s the most saves since 2013.
Without his presence the Dynamo goal could have conceded more goals. One of his stunning actions was seen when he brushed off Lionel Messi’s free kick. Blocking Messi’s free-kick on target is not easy and the goalkeeper, who is not 20 years of age, did it.
The goalkeeper who was born in Mukachevo, January 22, 2002 has been at the Dynamo academy since 2014 and was promoted in 2019. Neshcheret is also part of the Ukraine U-21 national team. Seeing the action against Barcelona, now Neshcheret’s name will not be separated from the scrutiny of European club talent scouts.
