The head coach of Kryvbas Yuriy Vernydub commented on the result of the first match of the Champions League playoff round between Dynamo and Benfica on the air of the Chistyi podcast program.
"I can't say that Dynamo disappointed me. The boys played as well as they could today. But "Benfica" is not a very good draw for "Dynamo". "Benfica" is "Benfica", the club always plays in the Champions League, there are great players of European level.
I wanted Dynamo to do better, and they could, but two mistakes wasted everything. The first missed ball - a professional football player cannot turn his back to an opponent who is shooting at the goal. You know who I'm talking about, watch the first ball. I don't understand these points.
The second missed ball is a mistake made by an experienced soccer player. It happens. This once again speaks of the psychological state and the tension that was in this match," Vernydub said.
