FC Dynamo Kyiv winger Andrii Yarmolenko had a chat with journalists after the game against FC Shakhtar Donetsk.
- The game was totally even in the first half. As for the penalty, I think it’s a controversial episode. Vivcharenko says the ball hit his breast at first and then rebounded towards the hand. According to modern interpretations of the rules, this is not a penalty. But I need to check that episode again.
- What happened late in the game?
- This is football, emotions. I guess fans missed such emotions. No one wanted to lose. Everyone was emotional. That’s natural in football.
- You hugged Diachuk after the game. This was his first game of the kinds while you’ve played a lot of those.
- Maksym did a good job. Sometimes it’s hard to control yourself after the game. It’s good that he listens to older teammates.
We didn’t deserve to lose today. It was an interesting match.
- Why weren’t you in the starting lineup?
- Coach picks tactics and lineup. I’ll play as much as they let me. No matter if it’s 10 or 90 minutes I’ll be doing my best.
- So you don’t have medical issues, do you?
- I don’t.
