Dynamo U19 defender Oleksii Rybak commented on the victory over LNZ (4:1) in the 5th round match of the U19 National League.
- We spent a lot of energy and emotions today. The air raid alert also had an impact. I am glad that we managed to pull ourselves together after a not very successful first half. During the break, the older guys and the coaches helped the team find what was needed.
- For the first time this season, the team found itself in the position of having to come from behind. Did this create additional pressure on you?
- I believe that, on the contrary, we realized that we needed to make even more effort and give even more emotions on the football pitch.
- After the first half, the team had a serious conversation. How much did it help prepare you for the second half?
- The head coach encouraged us and gave us instructions. We also made adjustments with substitutions, strengthening our game.
- During the break caused by the air raid alert, did you analyze what was happening in the match or try to take your mind off it?
- We received some instructions, but mostly we rested. The coaches had warned us about such breaks, so we were fully prepared for this.
- After the game resumed, Dynamo managed to score three goals in quick succession. After the first one, did you feel that the opponents were falling apart?
- After that goal, we understood that we needed to keep increasing our advantage. You can never stop, you need to score as many goals as possible.
- Today, you led the team onto the pitch as captain. What do you feel at such a moment?
- It is a great responsibility. I am grateful to the coaching staff and the team for their trust. As captain, I need to actively encourage the guys and help them more. I am one of the oldest players in the team, so I need to set an example.
