- Why weren’t Shovkovskyi, Bezus and Husiev on players’ list?
- Unfortunately Roman has problems with adductor muscle. Oleh has caught a cold. Olexandr Shovkovskyi felt pain in gastrocnemius at the warm-up.
- What can you say about the debut of Mykyta Burda on the serious level? What about the injury he’s picked up?
- I hope he’s fine. It seems he’s avoided injury. There was a lot of scrimmage in this game.
As for Mykyta’s play… Europa League is a really serious level. It was necessary to find proper words to get him ready for the match psychologically. I’m happy for him, he performed worthy.
- Have players fulfilled the game plan?
- Unfortunately Rio Ave had scoring chances, but our players were definitely doing their best. There were some mistakes, but they haven’t influenced the final score. I’m thankful to our performers for dedication. The pitch was better today than yesterday. Anyway it’s important that we knew how to defeat our opponent.
- Do Kravets and Teodorczyk play in turns? What’s their attitude to each other?
- They have normal relations. I’m thankful to Teo and Artem as they understand that we have competing in the team. Both of them keep working. That’s the way it should be in any club.
- It was the debut for you as head coach in euro cups. Did you feel special anxiety?
- When I talked to Mykyta Burda in the morning I told him: “Mykyta, we don’t oppose Inter Milan or Bayern Munich. This is a good team, but your anxiety will be gone as you touch the ball. I was excited like everyone else. Players have coped with their emotions, so I’ll be okay to.
