Brown Ideye: roller-coaster
In the first part of the season Dynamo striker scored 13 goals in Ukrainian Premier League. Some of his goals were decisive.
Brown also took part in the AFCON and won the trophy with Nigeria national team.
But being in South Africa Ideye missed two Dynamo’s training camps in Spain. That’s why at the moment he lacks understanding with teammates on the pitch.
In the last 3 Ukrainian Premier League games Brown didn’t manage to score. Never the less Ideye is the first team regular.
Despite some difficulties Ideye is optimistic and he always does his best on the pitch.
“Unfortunately I missed a lot of goal-scoring opportunities in the first half of the season. I’ll keep working hard to become the best forward of Ukrainian Premier League” – says Brown.
And it’s absolutely real to achieve such aim. Last season Ideye couldn’t score from September 28 till November 10. But after that he scored 5 in 3 games!

2012/13 season is the best in his career. Usually Serhiy plays as central halfback but he’s also able to play as left winger. He has great mutual understanding with Cyrilo Kovalchuk.
