Jeremain LENS: “We struggled and tried to win”

- We did our best to score at least one goal, but that was very difficult. Karpaty fought for positive result, we tried to win, but, as I’ve said, it wasn’t easy. We are upset.

- Don’t you think draw was Karpaty aim?

- They tried to use their chances, but I don’t think it was their main task. We controlled the ball and tried to create scoring opportunities. It’s difficult to oppose a team, which is totally focused on defense.

- What did Serhiy Rebrov say after Dynamo lost two players?

- He asked us to struggle, to work even harder. I guess we did that. Anyway it’s a weird situation. While doctors were trying to help Burda and Kravets something happened to Vida and we lacked three performers! Two of them returned, but then Sydorchuk got the second booking! Fortunately FC Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk have played in a draw against FC Shakhtar Donetsk and we are still UPL leaders.

- In the second half visitors demanded penalty from referee as Dragović allegedly handled the ball. Did he really do that?

- He didn’t. We had more chances, but Lviv side keeper saved Karpaty several times. Only one team wanted to win – Dynamo.

- Did you see how Burda and Kravets ran into each other?

- Yes, I saw that. Artem has hurt his eye and Mykyta – his head. Everything looked really serious. Kravets couldn’t continue the game.
