Ihor SURKIS: “Special thanks to our supporters”

- Do you remember the previous Dynamo home game in front of such crowd?

- There were 67 thousand fans at the stadium as we faced FC Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk. I want to express special thanks to our supporters. All tickets were sold two days before the game. Fans have helped our players to demonstrate their best qualities and win.

- Dynamo controlled the game so confidently that a lot of people didn’t want the match to finish…

- Frankly speaking I wanted the game to finish when the score was 1:0, but supporters want to see goals. The match was full of emotions. Fortunately we’ve used our chances.

- Serhiy Rebrov surprised everyone with Teodorczyk and Khacheridi in the starting lineup…

- Serhiy Rebrov lets performers, who are in best conditions, take the field. It turned out that Teodorczyk was ready for this game better than Mbokani. The head coach chose players and strategy correctly. After the score became 1:1 we didn’t lose courage and eventually won.

- When did you feel Dynamo would reach the next stage?

- After the final whistle.

- Weren’t you sure of that even when the score was 5:1?

- When the score was 5:1 I was really nervous. I realized that the goal netted by Antunes was the “concluding cord”, but I wanted to hear the final whistle.

- After the first leg Yarmolenko was criticized a lot. This time he was one of Dynamo leaders…

- Yarmolenko did his best on the field. Don’t forget that Everton play about 50 matches a year. Full house at the stadium or some tactical schemes can’t scare them. They oppose such teams as Arsenal and Manchester United. It was important for us to resist the pressure and outplay this club. Anyway I hope our players won’t rest on their laurels. After the drawing we’ll talk about our chances.

- Do you keep following the “next game is the most important one” formula?

- We’ll set the task to outplay the next opponent too. I guess players also want to reach ambitious goals. We’ve fulfilled the great amount of work. After international matches we’ll start getting ready for the game against FC Chornomorets Odesa. We’ll also think about the Europa League.
