Vladyslav Dubinchak (left; photo: fcdynamo.com)- Are you satisfied with the results of the match? What worked and what didn't?
- First of all, we needed a win. We found ourselves in a situation where we only needed to win. In this case, we can say that the game is forgotten, but the result remains. So we got three points and move on.
- From the outside, it seemed that our team played better in the second half. What were the coaching staff's instructions during the break and how well did you manage to implement them on the pitch?
- Firstly, we played the second half in the wind, and it is much easier to play in such conditions. The coaching staff asked us to add more aggression up front, we did, and we started to have chances. We scored a goal, we could have increased the advantage, but it's good that we brought the game to victory.
- The winning goal was scored by centre-back Denys Popov. What kind of combination was it? Oleksandr Shovkovskyi noted that it was played up...
- Yes, indeed, we practised it in training. In fact, I am very happy for Denys that he scored the ball. It was very important for him. He hasn't played the last three games, just like me, and this goal will definitely give him confidence. I hope he will continue to score winning goals.
- As for you, have you gained this confidence?
- I feel good, I hope I can help the team in the next matches.
- In the first match, Dynamo defeated Kryvbas 3-1. Did you analyse that match in preparation for this game?
- No, we didn't. We watched their recent matches against Chornomorets, Ingulets and Oleksandriya. This was enough to study the opponent.
- The team had three consecutive away games. How difficult is it? Does the preparation for the games change significantly?
- No, the preparation does not change. Moreover, statistics show that we perform better away from home than at home. For some reason, we win fewer games at home than away.
- Do you manage to keep in touch with Mircea Lucescu? Have you got used to Oleksandr Shovkovskyi as acting head coach?
- Oleksandr Volodymyrovych was at the headquarters when Mister was in charge of the training process, so, of course, we are used to it and understand what he demands from us. Mister is constantly in touch with the team and tells us what to do and how to do it.
