We asked Chernomorets to reschedule the game, but they didn't want to. Therefore, we prepared as best we could, because we have a lot of injured people.
Everyone who took to the field today played very well - well done! Kudos to them. It was a very difficult and important victory for us. I think she was fully deserved. They played well in many components. Yes, we scored one goal, but we still had chances that we had to convert.
We needed results today. We played well, created chances, so our victory is fully deserved. The guys gave all their strength, lost a lot of emotions, but I repeat, they prepared themselves very well for today's match and played well.
As for the opponent, we have always noted that no one looks at the tournament table with us. "Chernomorets" is a very well-playing team, with a good coach who can stage the game more than once. We watched the matches of the Odessa team and told the guys that this was not their place in the standings. Somewhere they were unlucky, but in general, this is a good team that knows how to play football,” Kucher said after the match with Chornomorets.
Recall that Chornomorets is the closest rival of Dynamo Kyiv in the Ukrainian championship: the match between these teams will take place next Sunday, November 6.
