Vladislav Kabaev: "Even if Dynamo wins: "Lucescu - go, Kabaev - this, that and the other" - just calm down"

Dynamo midfielder Vladyslav Kabayev said that Shakhtar are criticised less than the Kyiv club.

- The atmosphere is good when there is a result. When there is no result, it's hard. You understand that it shouldn't be like this, and you try to change it. But it doesn't always work out, and we don't like it. You're driven somewhere, you're still living that game somewhere. It shouldn't be like that. That game has already been forgotten.

You have to tune in to the next one, which you have to win. Your mood depends on the result. A good result means everything is good in life. A bad result - that's it, you start to get down.

I've noticed that even now, when Shakhtar are playing badly, they don't receive as much criticism as we do. And Dynamo is under such a magnifying glass... Even if we win, they will find something to say that we won wrong. "Lucescu - go, Kabaev - this, that and the other" - but calm down already.

They say not to read what is written about you. But how can you not read it when you go online and the first article opens up - bang! How can you not read it? Then you scroll on, and there's another article about the same thing. They write messages, even if you delete Instagram and don't read them.

- Do you know where Dynamo is currently ranked in the UPL?

- Somewhere around 10th, but we missed three matches. If, God willing, we win all of them, we will be the first. We met with Dubinchak just two weeks ago and discussed that everything is in our hands.

It's bad that we've dropped out of the European competitions, but now we're clinging to the Ukrainian league and the Cup. Everything is in our hands. Nothing is lost there. "Shakhtar lost points, Dnipro-1 and Zorya did too. "Rukh are playing well now, Polissia are playing well... But it's all the more interesting that such teams are emerging. If you read about Karpaty, the team signs a lot of players.

Honestly, I'm happy that even during the war there are such teams. I thought that many of them would go down, deflate. But we have some kind of rise, and it's good to see.
