Anderlecht

Although I am a Dynamo Kyiv fan, I must confess that Shakhtar is looking good despite the shrinking of the budget and loss of all of his stars within the past few years (like Fernandinho, Douglas Costa, Mkhitaryan, Willian, Luis Adriano and Alex Texeira. All of them, except Adriano (who failed to play in Milan) managed to become leaders in the new teams like Bayern Munich, MC, Dortmund and Chelsea). Lucescu had always had a hawk eye when it came to good young players. I hope Kovalenko will be a new star in this team.

That being said, I am afraid of even thinking about Iarmolenko leaving Dynamo Kyiv this summer, selection in Dynamo sucks big time, leaders like Andriy Shevchenko leave the club and the whole team disintegrates for years to come. Anderlecht deserved to score more than one goal tonight btw. Acheampong is a very good player, he scored against Olympiacos and scores now, he scores a lot with few chances he got.

Kovalenko looks pretty good :) I understand your frustration about the departure of young talented players. It's impossible for us to keep them under the present circumstances (capitalism since Bosman Ruling), both of our national football league will never grow up (again). Imagine Anderlecht playing with Musonda, Januzaj, Lukaku, Kompany, Biglia, Mertens, and many more...
