Vladislav Kabaev: "I had no dialogue with Lucescu. Now everything is much better"

Dynamo midfielder Vladyslav Kabayev spoke about his adaptation to the capital's club.

"Adaptation at Dynamo was difficult, just like at Zorya. It took about a year. At first, everything was fine on emotions. Then the emotions ran out - there was no result and a psychological hole appeared, it was very difficult to get out of it.

I never had a dialogue with Lucescu. Perhaps this played a role, it's hard to say. I analysed it all a lot and dug into myself. I read a lot about myself on the Internet, for the first time in my life I met someone like that. I understood that Dynamo were waiting for the result.

Now I feel much better. I have a dialogue with the head coach, I understand what he wants from me in a given situation. I have more freedom on the pitch, not like it was under Lucescu - only in this way and in no other way. Now I have a more "floating" position. It is closer to me.

I understand my level, I know that there are players who are stronger than me. And I know that I can do more," Kabaev told UPL.TV.
