- In principle, there is nothing, because in the first match the main task was to keep a clean sheet in defense, and in the second match, the main thing was not to concede a goal, we knew that we would have our moment and we would try to realize it.
- How important was it to restrain yourself in the first minutes, when the stands were especially pressing?
- We were preparing for the first 15-20 minutes in order to mentally restrain ourselves, because the fans are driving the team, it has a lot of support. We can say that we were lucky somewhere, we didn’t manage to do everything in these first 20 minutes, but we probably deserved to win more.
- How did the removal in Fenerbahce affect the game? How did it change the game?
“It completely changed the game. It is difficult for any team to play in the minority.
- How important is this victory for Dynamo, for domestic sports, for Ukraine?
- First of all, it is important for Ukraine, for our fans, for our people, people who defend Ukraine.
