- Atmosphere at the stadium was incredible! We are thankful to fans as it seemed we played in Kyiv.
- How can you estimate the game?
- I think draw is a fair outcome.
- Was the match against Shakhtar fussy and intense as usually?
- Sure, our matches are always like that. I think it’s a pleasure for supporters to follow such games. The score is 0:0, but you know what was at stake.
- Don’t you think the title is in your pocket already?
- Nothing is clear so far. We’ll fight for three points in every game. I understand that Shakhtar head coach wants to relax us by saying that we’ve already won golden medals.
- Did Lens and Kravets have 100% chances to score?
- Well, 100% chance is when the ball is on goal line and there’s no goalkeeper around. We had good opportunities, but so did Shakhtar. As I’ve said, draw is fair outcome.
- Dynamo keep a lower profile and count on counterattacks in the second game in a row…
- We didn’t keep lower profile all the time. We all know how Shakhtar can control the ball. We are just on the way to that, so sometimes we have to play like you saw. Still this tactics also can be beneficial as we have a lot of fast performers, who can create chances when they get space.
- Did you work more for attack or for defense?
- Sometimes I want to attack more, but I know that one must be also able to defend in modern football. Shakhtar players are very skillful, so I also featured in defensive half. That’s not a big deal.
- How will you be getting ready for the game against FC Hoverla Uzhhorod after Europa League matches and fixture against Shakhtar?
- The same way we always do. Those, who played more in last game, will be reconditioning tomorrow, the rest will have a training session. On Tuesday we’ll be getting ready for the national cup match against FC Olimpik Donetsk.
