Anatoly Petrovych, after the home 0:2 "Dynamo" before trying to create a sensation in Portugal and make it to the group round of the Champions League?

— I believe that at this stage the people of Dynamo are doing everything possible and impossible. In this couple, the Lisbon class is higher. I want to believe in a positive result, but it will be extremely difficult to achieve the desired score.

What could turn things upside down in the next game?

— If the "Dynamo" football players, who will enter the field, manage to throw off the burden of responsibility. To lose, in principle, nothing, either sir, or lost. I am sure that the Kyivans want to win, to rehabilitate themselves in front of the fans. You have to go out and play football, nothing is impossible, too much in one match. Our team is young, and now every game, like a final, depends on the result, and this may prevent the boys from revealing their full potential.

The current "Dynamo" can compete with the current "Benfica" in the openoh footballand?

- No. All the same, the rivals have different levels of football players. But I've already said that anything can happen in one game. A quick goal can happen or, let's say, a withdrawal from the opponent... I really want "Dynamo" to pass "Benfica", but... We should not forget the conditions under which the team prepares, which is always on the road, it is very difficult psychologically. But even so, the people of Kyiv have a dignified appearance. "Fenerbahce", "Sturm" were played...

In our situation, probably, and the main grid of the Europa League, where "Dynamo" will get at least, a good option. Or not so?

- Exactly. The European autumn is already guaranteed, which looks like a sporting feat when the country is at war.

Try to predict the score of the match "Benfica" Dynamo?

— I am not a prognosticator (smiles). You want to believe in the best, but you need to look at things realistically. Even if "Dynamo" does not pass "Benfica", it will not be a tragedy. It will be necessary to try to prove yourself in the Europa League, which Kyiv should be able to do.
