Dynamo midfielder Vladyslav Kabayev shared his emotions after the Ukrainian championship match against Vorskla in Poltava.
Photo: A. Popov- The match could not continue for a long time because of the alarm. How much did this situation affect the game?
- Yes, it was hard because of that, but we were in the same conditions as Poltava. I think it was hard for them as well. It is important both physically and psychologically - even more so. You come out of the dressing room, you've already warmed up there - and you're anxious again. Then we sit down, read the news, and then go round and round again. It's good that it all ended this way.
- Is this the first time this situation has happened to our team - when you've already taken to the pitch several times and then come right back?
- Yes, we discussed it in the locker room - I don't remember that there were several alarms in a row, and the match couldn't go on for so long. Although there was also a rather long one in Uzhhorod, where we didn't finish at all.
- Despite this, did you want to finish the match today at all costs?
- Of course, because we have a lot of missed rounds, and we have nowhere to put them off. We didn't even want to postpone the game to tomorrow, we wanted to finish today and go home.
- It seemed that the match was tense until the first goal, and then the game was easy for Dynamo?
- To be honest, the scoreline is not the game, I guess. It was a more or less even game, but perhaps our class showed a little bit, as experts say. We made our half-chances count.
- Perhaps the return of Andriy Yarmolenko also played a role?
- Of course, we are not even discussing this, it is felt in the team.
- What are your emotions after the game? Is there any exhaustion after a 4-hour match?
- No, everything is fine. The emotions are positive. We are winning, we know what we want to achieve. We need a result in every game. The result today is positive, so the emotions are positive. Yes, we are tired emotionally and physically, but we have a few days to recover and play against Zorya.
