Press conference of Mircea Lucescu after the game against Dnipro-1

- Why doesn’t Supriaha play the way he did earlier this season?

- Supriaha is a young player, he needs to learn. Dynamo level is very high, so he needs time. That’s what he’s actually doing. All great players needed time to get experienced. I believe in him and I hope he’ll be making headway.

- Who will substitute Sydorchuk in Barcelona – Baluta, Andriyevskyi or Shepelev?

- Both of our supporting midfielders did a good job today. On Wednesday we’ll decide who takes the field against Barcelona.

- Would Baluta have taken the field today if he avoided that failure in Budapest?

- I take responsibility for substitutions I made in the game against Ferencvarosi. Usually I don’t make substitutions when opponents take set pieces as a player, who takes the field, needs time to get accustomed to defensive mechanism of the team. Tudor followed one player and left another onside, but for some reason nobody says a word about the foul against Tsyhankov. If referee checked VAR that would have been a free kick.

- It seems your team hasn’t totally fulfilled the game plan today. What was the problem?

- Of course there are some mistakes, but generally the team is making headway. We create chances and dominate on the field. On the other hand, when we take the ball to the penalty area, we don’t do some stuff I want to see.
