Olexandr Karavayev: “Almost everything Lucescu warns about happens on the field”

FC Dynamo Kyiv halfback Olexandr Karavayev has commented upon the Ukrainian Super Cup against FC Shakhtar Donetsk for Football 1 channel:

- I think Shakhtar totally outplayed us today. We had chances, but they acted orderly, while we didn’t play the way we could.

- It seemed Shakhtar were ready to give their all to win.

- It seems our coach can predict anything. Almost everything he warns about happens on the field. He told us Shakhtar would be very motivated as Dynamo won all trophies last season. Shakhtar were really willing to win. So were we, but we haven’t demonstrated football we’re capable of.

- Did the first goal ruin your game plan?

- We had more chances before that goal, but we didn’t use them. Then Shakhtar scored and it was hard to change the situation.

- Have Shakhtar changed under the charge of De Zerbi?

- I don’t think they’ve changed a lot, but still there’re some changes. Now their laterals move to the center instead of rushing into space in the wings. Mircea Lucescu explained that to us, but we failed to face them more aggressively and confidently.
