Igor Kostyuk: "How many more chances do you need to create to win the game?"

Commentary by Dynamo U-19 head coach Igor Kostyuk after the match of the 11th round of the Ukrainian Youth Championship with Chornomorets Odessa (1:1).

- There is a football rule - you don't score, they score for you. How many more chances do you need to create to win the game? Today this rule has worked.

- Dynamo could also have conceded at the end of the match, when the opponents went 4 to 1...

- They could have conceded, they could have scored. We missed the counterattack. We practice these moments in training, but during the game, when there is pressure and responsibility, not everything goes well.

- Does the analysis of matches help to understand the mistakes of the players?

- As you can see, in the last two matches we had a total advantage, but the opponents scored their goal in the only chance created. This is football - you can have an advantage, but not win.

- Home games are ahead. Will high-quality pitches at home base help you control the ball more and attack better?

- Everything depends not on the lawn, but on the mood of the players. We warned both before the game and during the break that you need to convert your chances and keep your concentration throughout the entire 90+ minutes of the match. However, in the second half, the players came out a little imposingly, which played a cruel joke and led to a missed goal. Then we had many chances, but the ball did not go into the goal. There are such games.

- Your former player Ursolov scored...

- Coming on as a substitute, Ursolov refreshed the game. The partners began to play forward on him, he won the fight and clung to the ball. Our defenders, unfortunately, did not take this into account, although we warned them about this during the break, and lost primarily in the fight in the middle of the field. We lost rebounds, after which chances began to appear at our goal.

- Is the result of the match more plus or minus, given the team's performance?

- Our task is to develop players so that they progress. Dynamo is a winning team that sets itself the highest goals. It is clear that after victories the emotional background of the team is better, and the players approach the next game in a better psychological state and with greater concentration, not so worried about their mistakes.
