- Yes, of course, it was very important to win, because we lost a lot of points, and things didn’t go well for us in the European Cups. Due to our mistakes, we lost points. Therefore, the victory over Kryvbas is a new sip. I think things will go much better than before.
- Do you feel pressure on the team due to poor results?
- Dynamo is a club with a long history, so there will always be pressure if there is no corresponding result. You have to take it for granted, deal with the pressure, and treat both training and matches professionally. Do your job and do what the coach tells us. If we follow the instructions of the coaching staff, we will be fine.
As for psychology, this component needs to be worked on, both individually and in a team. The psychological factor is a very important moment in our career.
— Did you discuss it in the team?
“Of course, you always look for reasons in yourself first. And only then - in general. We are working on this carefully. It was such that everyone expressed their opinion about the reasons for the unsatisfactory results. We have drawn conclusions, but this is a long process, you need to work every day.
- Mircea Lucescu especially set the team up for the game, before the match he shook hands with everyone.
- Mister always does this - both before and after matches. This game was no exception.
