Dynamo midfielder Vladislav Kabaev commented on the away victory over Kharkiv's Metalist (3-1).
Vladyslav Kabaev (photo: Oksana Vasylieva)- You came on as a substitute before the start of the second half and livened up the game. How did Oleksandr Volodymyrovych set you up?
- In general, he did not adjust me in any way. I missed three weeks because of an injury, I wanted to play in the match against Shakhtar, I was preparing and ready to go on the pitch. I've been at Dynamo for a long time, I haven't had a goal for a long time, so I really wanted to either score or pass a goal. I'm already an adult footballer, so there's no need to tune me up.
- It was great to see Vanat, who was not covered by anyone at all...
- It was hard not to notice him in that situation (smiles). We are Dynamo players, and we have to see our partners on the pitch.
- Diallo made his UPL debut - he is also a player of your position. How do you assess the competition on the left flank of the midfield?
- Everything is fine, we have a good team. Back at the training camp, Mircea Lucescu noted that Nazar Voloshyn and I are in good shape, and healthy competition will only benefit the team. Now Samba Diallo has joined the first team - a young guy who still has everything ahead of him. But it's okay, the one who is better prepared for a particular moment will play.
- What did Shovkovskyi say to you after the game? Did he praise you?
- No, we don't have any individual praise. The whole team deserved this victory. Next week we will have a theoretical lesson, where we will analyse the vicissitudes of the match. After the game, Oleksandr Volodymyrovych just thanked us for the game and congratulated us on the good result.
- According to the calendar, Dynamo has three away matches in a row. Could there be any logistical difficulties, as they will take place in different remote parts of the country?
- You know, I don't see anything wrong with that. We still live in normal conditions, given that the country is at war. It is much harder for young boys and adult men at the frontline, defending the country from the aggressor. So we shouldn't complain about any difficulties.
