Olexandr KHATSKEVYCH: “Substitutions improved our play”

- What did you tell players after the first half?

- I knew you would ask that (smiling). Actually we just wanted to calm players down. They were too emotional in the first half, which resulted in lots of mistakes.

- Why wasn’t Khacheridi on players’ list?

- Yesterday he got sore throat. In the morning he said he wouldn’t be able to play.

- Could you please comment upon substitutions?

- They improved our play. Besedin grabbed the ball really well and Moraes decided the game.

- In the second half you used 4-4-2 formation and Buialskyi played as right winger pretty well! Will you keep using him this way?

- When I was in charge of youth team, Vitaliy often played in this position. This time Tsyhankov got some muscle problem in the first half and we decided to let Buialskyi take his position. He performed effectively and scored.

- Dynamo play better in the second half again. What’s the reason?

- The opener is very important. We had a great chance, but Gonzalez didn’t score. As I’ve said, we were too emotional in the first half.
