- Both sides played well. I think we didn’t deserve this loss as we had a lot of goal-scoring opportunities.
It’s clear that Shakhtar are better organized than we are. We are creating a new team and sometimes things go wrong.
I don’t want to estimate refereeing, but some referee’s decisions were weird.
- What happened in the episode when Yarmolenko was outside the game for more than two minutes right before the break?
- Yarmolenko was to put his boots in order out-of-bounds. I can’t explain what happened next. I don’t think the game was too harsh. So what’s the reason for so many bookings? Still I’m not trying to justify out loss.
- Could you please comment upon the second goal your team conceded?
- I can’t do that at the moment as I must analyze that episode first of all.
- As Shakhtar scored second, Dynamo started playing without passion. Why was it that way?
- You didn’t see passion, but I did.
I congratulate Shakhtar. I guess we are not ready to oppose them at the moment. But we have proved that Dynamo players fight till the end. Of course there are some drawbacks in our game. We must use goal-scoring opportunities. Had we scored second, the game might have changed.
- Vitaliy Buialskyi was on the main squad players’ list after the last reserve team game. Is he likely to become the first team regular? And could you clarify the situation with Milevskyi and Aliyev?
- There’s nothing to clarify. I have already made my decision as for Milevskyi.
Speaking about Buialskyi, we follow the reserve team games. We’ll see whether he’ll play for the main squad. He is a talented guy. I think the more Ukrainians play for our team the better it is for Dynamo.
