Vladyslav Kabaev (photo: Oksana Vasylieva)- The scoreboard reads 5-1. Can you say that the victory was easy?
- There are never easy victories. It was good that we scored almost from the first moment. But I wouldn't say that the victory was easy. Only if a person didn't watch the match and only looks at the scoreboard, he or she can say that. "Oleksandriya has changed the pattern of the game a lot compared to how they played six months or a year ago. There are a lot of young players there, you can see the pattern of the game. In general, a big plus to them for that. But we came here to win and we did.
- Did the quick goal help the team?
- I think so. Any team can benefit from a quick goal, you feel more comfortable psychologically, you get new strength. Perhaps, after scoring the first and second goals, we relaxed a little bit, but it's okay, even during the anxiety we were sure we could score more.
- How did the rain affect the game?
- To be honest, the weather changed a lot. It was either hot or raining... At first, yes, it was raining, but the pitch was of very high quality. It was very hard to run, I think I gained a couple of kilos. But everything was fine - it wasn't snow or mud. Everything was great.
- Immediately after the match resumed after the alarm, you scored a shot and an auto-goal...
- We played a little easier, waiting for the opponent to make a mistake. It was a normal game situation.
- What are the team's objectives for the last matches of the season?
- I'll say it simply: "Dynamo must win every match. It has been, it is and it will be. So in the last three matches we have to do exactly that.
