Dmytro Khomchenovsky: "Yes, Dynamo did not start very well, but they can add at any moment"

The captain of Kryvyi Rih "Kryvbas" Dmytro Khomchenovsky talked about the preparation for the match of the 10th round of the championship of Ukraine against Kyiv "Dynamo".

— Dmytro, how is the team preparing for an important match against one of the giants of Ukrainian football?

- Everything is fine, we are preparing according to the plan. We are getting very serious about the game against Dynamo. We understand that it will not be easy, because the opponent is strong. The team expects a good, but at the same time, difficult confrontation. Yes, Dynamo did not start very well this season. But the opponent should not be underestimated in any case. It is one of the giants of the UPL. He can add at any time to achieve success.

— After the first long-awaited victory of the season, is the team a little psychologically relieved?

— We waited a long time for the first title, after the return of "Kryvbas" to the UPL. Of course, everyone is happy at the moment, but we have a long and difficult road ahead of us, we have to keep winning. We need to work even harder so that we can score three points in each round.

— I have no doubt that you have friends or acquaintances in Dynamo. Have you had time to talk to any of the guys about the upcoming match?

— Of course, this is Sanya Tymchyk, Karavaev. We performed together with them in the "Zorya" composition. But they haven't had time to talk about the future confrontation yet. The last match at Arena Lviv? Let me remember. This was probably during the time of performances in "Zora". If I'm not mistaken, it was a meeting against "Rukh" (11.09.21) and we played 1:1.
