FC Dynamo Kyiv defender Olexandr Syrota, who scored the first goal of the game against FC Metalist Kharkiv (3:1), has commented upon the match for Profootball Digital.
- That wasn’t a typical goal for a center back. Why did you decide to shoot?
- Tsarenko and I often practice that kind of shots after training sessions. Well, as you see, it wasn’t in vain.
- Dynamo attacked a lot in the first half, but didn’t create a lot of real scoring chances…
- It was tough as Metalist had five defenders. It’s great I managed to score. If we didn’t open the score until a certain point, things would have got even harder. When two goals in front, we were supposed to play differently, but we didn’t.
- How were you supposed to play?
- We were supposed to maintain possession. As we had one player more, we had to act calmly and used chances if we created those. Denys made a mistake, but that can happen to anyone. Fortunately, we scored another goal.
- Is it bitter for a defender you haven’t preserved a clean sheet?
- It is a bit, but this is football. That happens. Even when conceding we must score much more than our opponents.
- Did the absence of Mircea Lucescu influence the team?
- Mister was with the team before we left for Uzhhorod. Today we played for him in a way.
