- I can't call it the best meeting of the season. We also had a good game against Shakhtar (2-2). As for the result, yes, we are very happy. Although at the beginning of the second half we`ve relaxed a bit, I do not know what it was. It is great that we won, it is the most important thing for us now.
- With the score 2-0 in your favour, what were you thinking about?
- There was no time to think about something. Our head coach warned us even before the starting whistle, that with any score we had to play the way we always play.
- Orest, the end of the first half was very difficult for Chornomorets. The hosts could have scored at least twice. What were you talking about at half-time?
- We focused on our game, on our tactical mistakes. We had to play very carefully with the opponent. We must not give them space and open areas.
- Why did Dynamo equalize so quickly at the beginning of the second half? Did you relax or did the hosts increase their activity?
- After the rest we also went into the game concentrated. But Dinamo's first goal broke us. Vanat played one ball, and two minutes later Buialskiy equalized the score. But I am glad that we stepped up and snatched the win. It gave our team confidence.
- Who is the hero of the match in the lineup of Chornomorets?
- I don`t want to talk about heroes. Sasha Demchenko scored two goals, we can highlight him. But today the whole team showed a good game.
- These three points will help Chornomorets not to look at the standings?
- Yes, the standings put a bit of pressure on us. But we still have four rounds ahead and we do not know what will happen next. We play from match to match, and after matchday 30 we will look at the table.
