Olexandr SHOVKOVSKYI: “Everyone knows how important successful start in the Champions League is”

- Have Oleksandria surprised you?

- We had our own plans for this game and I think we’ve fulfilled them.

- It seemed Dynamo played more confidently in the first half and relaxed after the break. Is it about preparation for the Champions League?

- Our opponents also make some allowances during the break. I think in the second half we created more chances than in the first, but didn’t use them. I hope we’ll do it in the next game. As for preparation for the match against FC Porto, it starts tomorrow.

- How did you congratulate Domagoj Vida on the birth of his son?

- We congratulated him after he returned from Croatia national team camp. After this game we also congratulated Danilo Silva.

- Laterals hit the target today. It seems you don’t need strikers…

- I’ll be glad if Danilo Silva becomes UPL best striker. I don’t care who scores. I just want to win every game!

- How much time did it take the team to regain balance after international matches?

- Our internationals were absent for 10-12 days as they featured for their national teams in Euro-2016 qualifiers. Their coaches have different views on football. It takes some time to switch from one game model to another. Long flights and players’ emotions also matter. Thus some performers had rest today. Everyone knows how important successful start in the Champions League is.
