Yevhen MAKARENKO: “We feel psychological uplift after win against Shakhtar” (+ VIDEO)

- I’m very happy. That my first significant win in football life. Everyone is really glad, it’s difficult to describe emotions!

- What does it feel like to defeat Shakhtar after a track record of failures against his team?

- That’s worth its weight in gold after defeats in the UPL. It is a psychological uplift for us.

- Is the combination of defenders ideal under Serhiy Rebrov? What’s his desert in Vida’s being in the right place in the right time?

- I think that’s desert of coaching staff and players. That was a very important game and we won it – that’s what matters.

- How has organization of play changed? Does coach require teamwork and discipline?

- We really work a lot on that and it yields the result.  

- It seems Rebrov has found balance between defense and attack. Defenders score a lot…

- Things just came around this way. Still we try to use side attack.

- What was going on in the locker room?

- Everyone was jumping, yelling, singing.

- Last minutes were intense…

- That’s because the match was very important. We really wanted to defeat Shakhtar and to prove that Dynamo deserve more than fourth place in the UPL standings. I guess it was noticeable.

- Ihor Surkis has told that this season is still a failure. Do you agree?

- I do. We didn’t reach the Champions League spot not to speak of the title. Still we tried to solace the season at least a bit with todays win.

- It seems that atmosphere in the team is good. Can it be saved till the next season?

- We hope so and we’ll keep working.
