- First of all I’d like to congratulate women on the 8th of March. As for men, I guess this game made them really nervous. I’m glad we were patient and eventually won the match. I’ve told players that I would have thanked them even if they didn’t manage to do that. They did their best. Football is unpredictable. We opposed very good team.
- Has the early start of the game influenced this match?
- Only the turf quality has. It was terrible. As for the time, it’s not a big deal.
- What’s wrong with Lens?
- He was hit on the same leg as in the match against Guingamp. I guess our opponents’ defenders know that they can stop Lens only by injuring him. Referees must react to that. We hope he’ll recondition by the next game.
- Don’t you regret that this match didn’t take place at Bannikov Stadium?
- I don’t know what the turf is like at Bannikov Stadium, but here it’s horrible. We try to create some combinations, but that’s impossible to do on such pitch. Anyway I’m thankful to Olimpik for playing here. We’ve pulled out the victory due to supporters.
- What can you say about conditions of Dragovic, Miguel, Khacheridi, Rybalka, Husiev and Shovkovskyi?
- As you know, Dragovic has missed this game due to suspension. Husiev needs some time for rest after difficult national cup match against FC Zoria Luhansk. Khacheridi will rejoin the team tomorrow. The same can be said about Miguel. Rybalka had fever yesterday. Shovkovskyi has problems with his back. Anyway I’m glad we keep winning in every competition despite the squad rotation.
- Why did your players unleash few shots from distance?
- That depends upon the opponent. It wasn’t easy to do today, but there were some shots from distance.
- Late in the game crosses into the box became quite effective. Maybe you should have started doing that earlier.
- I think not only crosses let us create chances. It’s good we’ve scored, but I’m sure that one shouldn’t hurry when opponent is outnumbered. I’m glad we’ve won. Players looked tired late in the second half.
- Considering some squad problems do Harmash and Burda have a chance to take the field as Dynamo face Everton FC?
- Of course they have, just as Chumak.
