Olexandr SHOVKOVSKYI: “Defeats and victories consist of scored and conceded goals”

- Our aims remain unchanged. The first game of the season is always important and we were getting ready for it thoroughly. Considering the situation in our country we must gladden people at least a bit.

- What conclusions did you make after the Ukrainian Super Cup?

- Defeats and victories consist of scored and conceded goals just like of mistakes. Somebody makes mistakes and somebody uses them. We analyzed the game in detail and focused on unsatisfactory episodes. I think we played pretty well against Vorskla. Still there were some chances we had to use.

- How important is this win in psychological aspect?

- Any victory is important early in the season. It wasn’t easy to win, besides the weather was really hot.

- Weren’t you afraid that having great advantage you would concede like it happened before?

- If you are afraid you shouldn’t take the field. There will always be some mistakes, but we must focus on implementation of what we work on at training sessions.

- Dynamo have young performers, who lack experience. How do teammates help them cope with nervousness?

- Young players will always be a bit nervous before the starting whistle. Everyone goes through this. Only game practice can give them confidence. Anyway our youngsters try to prove that they are worth featuring in the starting lineup.

- They say that experienced foreign players, such as Miguel, Mbokani, Lens, want to leave the team. Have you noticed that?

- It’s normal if players want to perform in better league. Their attitude to training process is above all. They have no problems with that. Nobody will be willing to sign a player in bad conditions.
