Head coach of Obolon Kyiv Valeriy Ivashchenko commented on his team's 1-0 victory over Dynamo Kyiv in yesterday's match of the Ukrainian Cup 1/8 finals.
"Defeating Dynamo and reaching the quarter-finals of the Ukrainian Cup is a historic event at the moment. But we shouldn't forget that today we are celebrating, and tomorrow we have to prepare for the Ukrainian championship. Now there is a short pause, and we need to restore the guys.
It's not every day that you can play against Dynamo and Shakhtar. Some of them only dreamed of playing this kind of football recently, and now they are already coming out and playing against such a team. Everything is real. The main thing is to believe in yourself. You can beat both Dynamo and Shakhtar. Everyone is alive.
The main thing is the right attitude, the right preparation of the team, morale and cohesion both in the team and in the infrastructure. When everything is good, it spills over into victories," SportNews quoted Ivashchenko as saying.
