- We did a great job in Turkey during the training camp. I know that we have some small problems in defence, but we know how to eliminate these shortcomings.

- In December, Dynamo played Metalist 1925 at the Valery Lobanovsky Stadium. Has the opponent changed since then?

- Yes, they have. They have a new head coach, a lot of newcomers, they play a different formation.

- You have one newcomer in the starting line-up - Taras Mikhavko. How did he perform at the training camp?

- I think Taras has a good football future. Everyone in the team supports him. However, everything in football will depend only on him, how he will work in every game, at every training session.

- In the 5th minute, your former teammate Denys Harmash opened the scoring in this match. What were your thoughts at that moment?

- I wanted to get back at them as soon as possible and win.

- As the course of the match showed, Kharkiv, having scored a goal, started playing defensively. So did Garmash's goal help Dynamo to some extent?

- We assumed that we would be the first team to act. Of course, conceding a quick goal was not part of our plans. In the first half, we failed to create goal-scoring chances. We improved this component in the second half.

- Did Dynamo play better than in the autumn?

- I can't say. There are things that need to be improved in our game. Let's see how we play in the next matches. Then we can say something concrete.
