Oleh BLOKHIN: “Our team can already play for 90 minutes at a good bat”

- Are you satisfied with quality of Dynamo play?

- After the game I thanked all performers for doing their best on the pitch. I think we’ve seen two different halves. After the break our team played better.

- In the second half Dynamo demonstrated a good set piece, side attack which resulted in Ideye’s goal and impressive pass combination….

- I think it’s too early to praise us (smiling). Some problems still exist. The game against Malaga was special as we played using one squad for the first time at the training camp. It was necessary for our performers to show what they can at the moment. I guess we made some tactical mistakes in the first half. It’s great that ourteam can already play for 90 minutes at a good bat.

- Didn’t Malaga play roughly unlike Romanian teams?

- I can’t say that Spanish side players performed very correctly. Referee should have paid more attention to some episodes. In general I think it was a normal friendly.

It’s important that La Liga is in full play and we’re just preparing for second part of the season. Thus it’s a pleasure that we haven’t lost the game.

- Featuring against Malaga your players demonstrated some pass combinations you worked on. Are you satisfied with their execution?

- Yes, I am. We pay a lot of attention to tactics. In the second half our groundwork snapped into action.

- In the first half Dynamo tried to play keep ball…

- At first we couldn’t dispossess Malaga players for four minutes. Our performers were getting accustomed to this team. Anyway later we controlled the ball. Despite all difficulties we didn’t play worse than Spanish side even in the first half. The goal we conceded was a result of mistake. We also had scoring chances.

- Was it a right decision to face the team which is in good conditions at the moment?

- I think Malaga are good opponent. Still Steaua and Dinamo București also aren’t bad teams. Anyway it was great for us to play against La Liga club.

- Many Dynamo players state that they’ve never played so many friendlies within training camps before. Is it your know-how?

- We are reforming the team and training process in general. The number of friendlies we used to play wasn’t enough.

We have enough performers for two squads, so we can play every day.

Even a game against amateur team is better than raining session for players.

- Dynamo had a full-fledged training session before the game against Malaga…

- I think it’s quite normal.
