Olexiy MYKHAILYCHENKO: “After the first half we asked players to increase speed and aggression”

- It’s hardly possible to overestimate the importance of this game. It’s not just about the Europa League, but more about the situation concerning our recent results. We had a very decent opponent and it was difficult to succeed.

As for the game itself, the first half was a bit careful. After the first 45 minutes we asked players to increase speed and aggression although we couldn’t forget about defense because Malmö have good counterattacks.

I’m satisfied with speed and mutual understanding players demonstrated in the second half. It’s great we’ve managed to score and win.

- Are you satisfied with players, who made substitute appearances?

- Rodrigues has fulfilled significant amount of work. He got a bit tired and we needed qualities Besedin has. That’s why Artem took the field. We wanted to enforce our attack. Besedin has done what we wanted him to.

- Dynamo are to play two away games within the next six days. How are you going to get the team ready for that?

- Every game is very important to us. This is the period of time, when we’ll have only few constructive training sessions as the major task will be to recondition both physically and mentally.

- Tsytaishvili was on the players’ list for the first time since you took charge of the team. Is it a kind of signal for him?

- It’s a normal situation. I don’t care about players’ age. I care about their readiness to take the field. We need to have competition inside the team. Popov is also training. Maybe he’ll even play in Poltava. Shaparenko is reconditioning too.

- How serious is Kadiri’s injury?

- It’s quite serious. He can miss about a month.

- Congratulations on your first victory. Dynamo prioritize crosses from wings. Fran Sol is probably a good choice for this tactics. Why doesn’t he play?

- Fran has missed a lot. As I’ve said, we have normal competition in the team. We’re about to have tight schedule, so there’re enough games for everyone. Each player must benefit the team.
