Dnipro 1 goalkeeper Yevhen Volynets in an interview with the UPL TV channel spoke about the changes in the team after the arrival of coach Yuriy Maksimov.
Evgeny Volynets- The mood of the team depends on the results. They got better for us, so everyone left for the international break in a good mood.
- How many days off?
- We had 5 days off, because there was a busy calendar, cup game, we were not in Dnipro for a long time, we were without our families for a long time.
- How hard was the victory over Veres for the team?
- Now all matches are hard and victories are hard. Thank God that with "Veres" we got a pretty confident victory. One of the most confident in recent times.
- And for you as a goalkeeper?
- For me every match is not easy, because I try to keep myself in tone and not to switch off even if there are not a lot of chances for the opponent and not a lot of work for me. I still try to be immersed in the game, to give some tips.
- What was decisive for the victory?
- A quick goal helped a lot. I congratulate Sanya Filippov on his first goal. I think it is a very important goal for him. When you score quickly, and then double the advantage, it is much easier to play. If you win 2-0 after the first half, the game is much easier.
- What has changed in the training and playing process after Maksimov took over the team?
- He improved the discipline a little bit. And he put more emphasis on pressing. He explained that if we take more balls on the other side of the pitch, the results will improve. In principle, it's true.
- Three matches without conceding a goal in the championship. What does it mean?
- First of all, that the team as a whole is doing a great job. But it is the merit of not only the defenders, but the whole team.
- Are the quality of defensive play being emphasised?
- I think, such an emphasis is made in all teams. Especially, in Dnipro-1 there are good defenders, with whom I like to play and who give me confidence with their actions.
