Volodymyr Brazhko: "Now we have to come back and solve problems in Dynamo"

Volodymyr Brazhko, the midfielder of Kyiv Dynamo and the Ukraine national youth team, commented on the victory over the Azerbaijan national youth team (1:0) in yesterday's match of the qualifying cycle of Euro-2025 (U-21), in which he became the author of the winning goal of the Blue-Yellows.

- The final score is like this because, perhaps, it's also about us: we didn't realise many chances. But there is, of course, also the merit of Azerbaijan: our opponents played compactly in defence with the scheme 5-4-1: it is difficult to open such a defence. But the main thing is that we still scored one goal.

I am satisfied with the result, but there are problems, they need to be solved. We will work to score more and improve the game. In the second half we lost concentration, and the opponents felt that they could go on the attack and created moments at our goal, which caused us problems.

My goal from a penalty? The head coach said that in case of penalty kicks I would be the first to shoot, because I had already performed them before. I am more satisfied with the fact that the team won than with the fact that I scored.

We returned to our clubs with a victorious mood, we are in first place in our qualifying group. Now we have to go back and solve the problems at Dynamo," "Suspilne" quotes Brazhko.
