Olexiy MYKHAILYCHENKO: “We don’t rank competitions – every game is very important”

- Only 11 thousand tickets were sold as of yesterday. Is it about recent results Dynamo demonstrated?

- I guess we deserve such attitude. We realize we can make supporters come back to the stadium only with a help worthy performances. But even if one person comes tomorrow, we’ll play for him or her.

- Is everyone getting ready for the game?
- Many players, who were injured, step back into ranks. Popov has had only two training sessions so far, so it’s hard to say when he comes back. Shaparenko is also training. Burda will miss the game. Even Zambrano feels quite fine. We have tight schedule, so we need everyone. I think we’re able to win forthcoming games.

- How do you erase negative emotions related to recent failures from players’ memory?

- It’s much easier to recondition physically than mentally. We weren’t trying to get ready for the Europa League with a help of domestic league games. We don’t rank competitions – every game is very important. I hope we’ll demonstrate football people expect from us.

- Do you agree Malmö are your major rivals in battle for the first place?

- We have quite equal teams in our group. We’ve watched and analyzed Malmö games. They have interesting experienced lineup with average age about 30 years. They’re very fit and good at tactics.
