Andriy YARMOLENKO: “Everyone worked for defense and attack”

- Defeat in the Super Cup hurt our self-esteem. No one likes to loose. It was obvious that today we were more willing to win. I think we’ve succeeded deservedly.

- Is formation with two supporting midfielders better for games when you need to sit on the lead?

- There’s no significant difference. We defended a lot today. There was a real team on the field. Everyone worked for defense and attack. I think dedication is more important in such games than formation.

- Is Mbokani’s goal the result of combination you worked on or a peculiar feature of Dynamo new style?

- I think it’s neither about combination not about style. It’s about the class of striker. He was waiting for his chance and used it. Now we get three points. I congratulate our city and fans on victory.

- Maxym Koval has also made strong contribution into success…

- There can be no claims to him. He saved the team several times. Well done.

- Derlis Gonzalez could score Dynamo second goal…

- I guess he didn’t expect he would unleash such a shot. In the previous game his attempts weren’t impressive, so I advised him to have some meat to gain force (smiling).

- Were final minutes difficult?

- If we used our chances things would have been easier. Frankly speaking we were exhausted late in the game.

- Was Olexandr Khatskevych emotional as the game was on?

- He was calm though we experience pressure. It’s great we’ve won. I think it will give coaches and layers confidence.
