- We knew the game would be difficult. Opponents don’t forgive mistakes on this level and we made a lot. Besides we didn’t use our chances. It’s always difficult to play when you concede early opener. After the game president of the club thanked players. So did I. We mustn’t throw in the towel. Nothing has been lost so far. We’ll fight to get out of the group.
- Should you change your strategy after three matchdays? Do you have reserves for that?
- We shouldn’t change anything as our strategy for every game is to demonstrate our play and win. Even one mistake means a lot in the Champions League. It’s bitter to lose two home fixtures.
- Don’t you think you picked wrong midfielders? Why did Tsyhankov take the field so late in the game?
- Buialskyi has been training for only five days after injury. The same about Tsyhankov. I didn’t have wide range of midfielders. I could pick Rybalka, but picked Korzun. Anyway we’ll analyze the game and move on.
- Won’t you apply serious lineup rotation after Dynamo successful games in the UEFA Youth League?
- Do you really think U-19 team players are ready to perform in the Champions League? They lack stability, besides you’re talking not even about U-21 team. Our youngsters are promising and they work with the main squad quite often. Still I don’t think it’s right to let them perform in the Champions League at once. Half of U-19 and U-21 teams performers will go to the winter training camp. They’ll have a chance to prove they deserve to play.
I’m glad for our U-19 team. It’s important for the main squad to have several leaders, but we don’t.
- What’s the way to change current situation for better?
- First of all we must deal with players, who’ve lost motivation. We’ve discussed that with president. Despite long-term contracts they should leave. It’s better to work with nineteen-year-old kids, who want to fight on the field. The team needs enforcement.
- What’s the main reason for Dynamo defeat?
- There are several reasons. Early opener made us change our strategy. Late in the game some players were tired, but they acted with dedication.
