After the final whistle he commented upon the match:
- I think we played well but didn’t use our opportunities. We didn’t convert the penalty. Besides me and Roman Bezus also had chances to score…
- Did the team support Oleh Gusev after not converting the penalty?
- That happens. I hope that it won’t prevent us from qualifying to the next stage.
- Why didn’t you or Veloso take the penalty?
- Gusev usually does that and scores but this time he failed. As I said, that happens sometimes.
- Francis Gillot mentioned that he didn’t expect Dynamo play so confidently after the winter break…
- It was our first official match this year. Our fans supported us and it was a great pleasure, so we did our best not to disappoint them.
- Maybe the team isn’t 100 per cent ready physically?
- I think we were well prepared for this match. The only problem is that we didn’t use a lot of opportunities.
- How can you estimate the pitch of Olimpiyskyi?
- It’s not bad but as for me the pitch of Dynamo stadium was better.
- Vida and Bezus made their debut for Dynamo. Have they already adapted to new teammates?
- We worked a lot during mid-season training camps so we feel comfortable playing together.
- What about other newcomers?
- We have a great team spirit so everyone tries to help them if necessary.
- What did Blokhin tell you after the final whistle?
- He thanked us as we really did what we could and tried to win…
- What do you think about Dynamo’s chances to outplay Bordeaux?
- We are very optimistic and we are to win in Bordeaux!
