- At least once Ukraine national team headed by you played against Georgia behind closed doors. What are the main peculiarities of such games?
- First of all a head coach must think what to tell players (smiling). Of course no one likes to play behind closed doors.
I just can’t understand why FC Metalist Kharkiv and Shalke 04 fans were present at the stadium despite the fact that PAOK FC arena was disqualified.
- According to UEFA rules away side can have up to 200 supporters.
- Thank you for explanation.
- How does Mbokani feel after the rough play he suffered as Dynamo faced FC Metalurh Zaporizhya?
- At first I thought that consequences would be very serious. Defender fouled deliberately. Still at the moment he works with the rest of the team. He has a blood boil on his heel tendon, but surgery isn’t necessary.
- Dynamo play twice a week? Does it mean that you will reshuffle the squad regularly?
- Will it give us positive result? Reservists will take the field as soon as they are ready to. Reshuffling is good, but we must organize the team first of all. Besides, there is no limit for foreign players in euro cups.
- What conclusions have you made after the game in Kazakhstan? Some players hogged the blanket… How will the match in Kyiv differ from the first leg?
- How should it differ? I suppose you want us to defeat Aktobe 8:0. We have analyzed the first leg. Our defenders made too many mistakes and we’ll try to change the situation for better. If players hog the blanket it means that they possess confidence. But it’s impossible to elude 11 players and to score solo.
- It’s hardly possible to understand what Dynamo tactical scheme is…
- Shall I draw this scheme? We have enough goal-scoring opportunities in every game. The problem is that we miss a lot of them.
- Do you already have enough information about FC Aktobe play?
- I watched their game against FC Kairat Almaty and saw nothing useful. Still now we have more information than before the first leg and our preparation for the match will differ. In the first game players didn’t toe the line which caused problems.
- Aktobe head coach Vladimir Nikitenko has stated that both teams have equal chances to win…
- Chances are really equal by the kick-off.
- Volodymyr Bessonov has told that he can’t support Dynamo as there are too many foreign players in your team…
- It’s his opinion. A lot of former players become experts, but maybe they should work as coaches. We have enough Ukrainians unlike FC Metalist Kharkiv for example. There could be even more, but Harmash and Selin have picked up injuries.
- What can you tell about Danilo Silva’s physical conditions?
- In general he is ready to play, but still he feels some discomfort. He had problems with posterior surface of the hip, so maybe there’s still a cicatrix. I suppose he’ll be preparing for the game against FC Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk with the rest of the team.
