- As for me, it was the game worth Cup final. It doesn’t matter when we face Shakhtar. Both sides have demonstrated decent intriguing football. There were a lot of emotions and scoring chances. Of course I’m glad we go through to the next stage. Unfortunately, having opportunities for good counterattacks, we didn’t use them. As for defense, the whole team acted orderly. I’d like to thank our players for dedication. We’ve deserved this victory.
- Unlike the previous season, now Dynamo have three forwards, but Shabanov, Mykolenko and Popov score decisive goals…
- Of course it’s great when forwards do their job, but the more players are able to score, the more unpredictable our attacks are. As for me, Besedin has fulfilled a great amount of work today. But still he must score too.
- Tsyhankov played as a second forwards while Karavayev was a right winger. What are your impressions of this rotation?
- I think our tactical innovations were effective.
- Don’t you think it would be right not to let Dynamo and Shakhtar face each other till the semifinal?
- I don’t. There’s a drawing that decides which sides face each other. Everyone must be on equal footing.
