Andriy YARMOLENKO: “We’ll be getting ready for cup match against Karpaty in good mood”

- Emotions are only positive. We’ve won confidently, so we’ll be getting ready for cup match against FC Karpaty Lviv in good mood.

- The first goal was really spectacular: Belhanda found you with a heel pass. Do you already understand each other that well?

- Sure. Younes has been featuring for Dynamo for more than a year already, so we have good mutual understanding.

- Do you remember Volyn salvaging a draw in Kyiv last year? Did you want to gain revenge?

- Of course we remember that game. For those, who might have forgotten it, episodes of the match were demonstrated on the big screen. We knew that we’ll have problems if we underestimate our opponent

- Did FC Zoria Luhansk victory against FC Shakhtar Donetsk please you?

- (Smiling). We watched that game. It’s good that Shakhtar have lost points. Now we must also defeat them.

- Start of the season is usually difficult for you, but this year you score almost in every game. Is that due to Rebrov’s special methods of work?

- There are no special methods. Of course it’s a pleasure to score, but things can’t be this way in every game. When you don’t score you are criticized, but that’s okay, it’s just necessary to keep working.

- In the first half Dynamo players were flagged offside a lot. What’s the reason for that?

- We were flagged offside about ten times, but twice we avoided the trap and hit the target. One can cope with Volyn defense due to speed.

- Did the goal you conceded upset you?

- I think Volyn deserved that goal.

- Rebrov believes in young performers. Do you like playing alongside them? They must be nervous…

- I don’t think they are nervous as they see that head coach believes in them. This or that game can be a failure for them, but they’ll still have a chance to take the field in following matches. I thing many of our youngsters have good future, Mykyta Burda for example.

- Kharatin, Chumak, Polehenko, Kuzyk, Mykhailychenko, Besedin and other also train with you regularly. What can you say about them?

- We have a lot of young performers, who’ll be ready to feature for the main squad soon. It’s important for them to have a possibility to work with the first team.

- Yesterday Yevhen Khacheridi made his first appearance for the reserve team after long break caused by injury. How soon will he join the main squad?

- Dynamo need him. Especially it was noticeable as we faced FC Zoria Luhansk. I hope Yevhen will recondition quickly.

- How will you be getting ready for the Ukrainian Cup match against FC Karpaty Lviv?

- Those, who featured against Volyn, will have a day off tomorrow. The rest will have a training session. After that we’ll analyze Karpaty play and work as usually.

- It has been decided that FC Dynamo Kyiv will face FC Shakhtar Donetsk two days after the game against FC Steaua Bucureșt. What’s your attitude to that?

- We’ll definitely have no days off. Anyway, for example, in England people have such schedule and demonstrate worthy football.
