Olexiy MYKHAILYCHENKO: “We have surrendered the initiative in the struggle for the second place”

- First of all I’d like to congratulate Metalist. I think it was a good match as both sides did their best to win. In the first half we played worse than in the second. After the break we tried to equalize the score. Unfortunately our players missed some goal-scoring opportunities. We conceded two goals after set pieces and I think it’s too much. It’s a pity we have surrendered the initiative in the struggle for the second place. But we’ll keep on fighting. There’s still much to improve.

- Dudu took the field for the first time after a long break. How can such decision be explained?

- He’s demonstrated a good play for the reserve team. But in Kharkiv he didn’t manage to show his best. Still the loss is the guilt of the whole team but not of some players in particular.

- In the first half Dynamo almost had no goal-scoring opportunities…

- I agree with that. There was too much inaccuracy. Maybe the psychological pressure has made some influence. Of course Metalist are a very good team with highly qualified players.

- Did Oleh Blokhin’s absence on the substitutes’ bench influence the game?

- We’ll never find that out.

- Don’t you think that Oleh Husiev could help attacking players but for the necessity to play as right back?

- It really was a necessity as Danilo Silva had one-match suspension.
