Dynamo U-19 Kyiv coach Ihor Kostiuk commented on the away victory over Oleksandriya (3-2) in the 27th round of the Ukrainian Youth Championship.
Igor Kostyuk (photo: fcdynamo.com)- We started strongly, scored three goals, and could have scored more. But there were also moments at our goal where we could have conceded. Then we made both team and individual mistakes, and still conceded twice. This was due to non-compliance with instructions, incorrect positioning of players during standard positions and misunderstandings between players. Our problem has come to light again - before, when we won so confidently, we brought our advantage to five or six goals, but now something is not working out for us, we are not able to launch quick counterattacks and cannot properly dispose of the ball.
- The score is 3-0, the team is playing on the power play, but then we concede twice and still have nerves. Why did this happen? Were the players too calm?
- This is the tactical immaturity of our players. Filatov was playing only his third match, Syzonyuk after a long break, and there was a noticeable lack of chemistry in long passes or movements. In addition, in the episode with the first conceded goal, the goalkeeper made a mistake, did not assess the situation, then quickly conceded the second after the standard... But the mood was appropriate to the game, and it's good that everything ended in our victory.
- The Kremlin man scored two goals today . Do you agree that Dmytro in the first round and in the spring part of the season are actually two different players?
- In general, the whole team works on the pitch. It is clear that Dmytro is a stable player, and we strive to ensure that the players act with maximum dedication and concentration in every game. For this purpose, we work in training and have tactical preparations. If all this is implemented in the matches, the guys progress.
- In terms of points lost, Dynamo is five points behind Rukh. Is the fight for the championship not over yet?
- As the saying goes, hope dies last. We will try to win all our matches, achieve the maximum, and hope that Rukh will lose points somewhere.
