Vladislav Kabaev. Photo — Y. Yuriev- At the expense of what Dynamo managed to win the game, which was not quite easy for your team?
- "Metalist 1925" - is a good club, with its own history. Viktor Skrypnyk headed this team in winter. Everyone knows how to play football. No one thought that we would have an easy ride. Our opponent scored a quick goal, but it did not affect our mood. We clearly knew what we had to do to succeed. And if in the first half we lacked something, then in the second half we finished Kharkiv team.
- What did Oleksandr Shovkovskiy talk about at half-time?
- I can`t say that we played badly. We really did not create many chances before the break. We should have pressed the opponent better. With the score 2:1 in our favour, we didn`t want to stop, we wanted to score more goals.
- Vlad, can you compare your games with "Metalist 1925" in December and in February?
- Our opponent played completely different. Then it was easier for me to play. Now Kharkiv club plays with a different scheme, there are newcomers in its squad.
- Do you think that after the end of the winter training camp Dynamo Kyiv became stronger?
- I hope so. We will go from match to match. Shovkovskiy has a different vision of the game, everything will show our result. I don`t want to single out anyone.
- And the best scorer of UPL Vladislav Vanat can be mentioned?
- He should score goals, it is the striker's job.
- And what can you say about 18-year-old defender Taras Mikhavko?
- He is good. Taras made a good debut in UPL. Yes, he made a mistake in one of the episodes, but otherwise he acted very confidently. Everyone makes mistakes, this is football. Mikhavko - well done.
- Will you look at the standings tonight?
- No. There are still a lot of matches ahead. On 25th of May we will be able to look at the table, not earlier.
