Anyway the match in Kharkiv seems to be one of Brown’s best games for Dynamo.
SECOND HAT TRICK SLIPPS OUT
- When did you get to know that you would be among first eleven in Kharkiv?
- About three hours before the game the head coach named the starting lineup.
- Did Dynamo prefer keeping a lower profile or Metalist made you play that way?
- I guess it was our choice. We knew that Metalist would attack with great enthusiasm at their home arena. That’s why we tried to use counterattacks and our chances effectively.
- You had two chances in the first half and used both of them! Speaking about the second goal, it seemed that your ball reception was ideal…
- Everything was excellent in that episode. First of all Vukojevic noticed me and played to my feet perfectly. Of course ball reception was also very important.
- In the second half you took a penalty. Whose initiative was that?
- It was my initiative. I really wanted to score a hat trick. The thing is that I already had a chance to do that in Ukraine once, but I lost it.
- When was that?
- Las spring I scored brace against FC Zoria in Luhansk. A minute before the time referee awarded penalty for Dynamo, but that time Oleh Husiev took it.
- Did your miss upset you?
- Sure. First of all I was upset not because of the lost hat trick, but because I could benefit my team even more and failed.
- When did you score a hat trick last time?
- Never.
DNIPRO STRIDES AREN’T SURPRISING
- They say that some Dynamo foreign players can leave Ukraine because of the situation in the country…
- I’ve never heard about that. Who are these people?
- Some Mbokani’s sayings appeared on the Internet recently…
- I haven’t heard any of my teammates expressing the desire to leave. Personally I don’t think about politics. I’m focused on the club I play for.
- Do you consider Dynamo forthcoming match in Dnipropetrovsk to be one of the most important in the battle for Premiership?
- We must take the field not as losers, but as winners. Dynamo are good team. Why should we be afraid of someone?
- Did you watch FC Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk last match against FC Shakhtar Donetsk?
- I watched a small fragment. The final score isn’t surprising for me. Dnipro play really well today.
- How many teams are you tipping to struggle for Premiership?
- I thing this season everything will be settled only after the last matchday.
