- The start is difficult. A new coach, Patrick van Leeuwen, has joined the team, and we are still trying to understand his philosophy. Our style of play has changed. Now we don't control the ball for a long time in an attempt to create space for ourselves, but immediately go forward and attack.

We give away a lot in the first half, so we are physically and emotionally lacking for the second 45 minutes. In addition, our new coach has very specific training sessions. We run a lot and do a lot of heavy physical activity.

Perhaps this is how Valeriy Lobanovsky used to train his teams. "As far as I know, Dynamo also had a difficult start to the season with him, but after the first five rounds they adjusted and were at their best. I hope we will do the same. We'll see," Sikan said.
