Ihor Kostyuk (photo: fcdynamo.com)— The boys performed the setup for the game and achieved a positive result. I think it is entirely their merit, there are positive changes in terms of attitude, aggression on the field. Today we played compactly, interacted well inside, created enough chances and in the end won the match.
— Did the guys come to a conclusion after the previous match, with "Rukh", and think about their behavior?
— We had a serious conversation. We talked about attitude in training, because of the speeds at which we have to play, about single combats, wrestling, duels. And today it all happened. We know that Shakhtar is an individually strong team, but thanks to organization and fighting qualities, we achieved victory.
— Samba Diallo helped you today...
- Samba is a first team player. He hadn't played in a while, and he needed practice. He can play for our team because of his age, so he was useful today - in particular, he earned the penalty that gave us the lead.
— In general, how was Samba received back?
— This is our player, he performed well for us, brought results when we won in the UEFA Youth League. He is comfortable here, he knows everything about our tactics. I think it's also useful for him to get game practice here.
— Now "Movement" is in first place. Will you catch up?
- This is football. We go to every game with the goal of winning. And we will count the points when the championship is over.
