In the final match of the seventh round of the Ukrainian championship, Dynamo beat Vorskla. Defender Christian Bilovar played the entire match for Kyiv and praised the match against Poltava.
- Christian, after the match in Istanbul against Besiktas, Dynamo did not play any official matches for 17 days. How did the team spend this period?
- We didn't have much time to rest. We were preparing for official matches without our training camps. In a sense, we held a mini-training camp in Kyiv. And when the guys involved in different national teams arrived, we reduced the load and continued to prepare directly for the match with Vorskla.
- What can you say about the last game?
- If we take into account the historical component, Vorskla has always been an uncomfortable opponent for Dynamo Kyiv. But today, I think we should have closed the match in the first half, scoring 2-3 goals. Thank God, we won.
- Christian, is the fact that Dynamo scored zero goals for the first time this season, while Poltava never hit Bushchan's goal, a merit of the defenders?
- No, this is the merit of our entire team.
- A question about the team captain. After Sydorchuk left for Belgium, did Buyalsky automatically become the new captain of your team?
- I don't know all the nuances. I think that Buyalsky's captain's armband is Vitaliy's merit. He's been in the team for a long time and has absolute authority among the guys. I'm sure that Buyalsky and Yarmolenko communicated and even joked about it.
- Looking at Dynamo's application for the match against Vorskla, it was noticeable that there were few experienced players in the squad. What can you attribute this to?
- We have injured players, the same Shaparenko. In recent years, Dynamo has been undergoing a certain restructuring - young players have been coming through. The generation that everyone knows either moves to other teams or ends their careers. So Dynamo needs young, quality players.
