Andrii Yarmolenko: "We were ready for the game with LNZ, but..."

Dynamo midfielder Andriy Yarmolenko commented on the home draw with LNZ (1-1) in the 23rd round of the Ukrainian championship.

- Last time I said that I'm not interested in personal records, only the team's result is important to me. Today there is no result, to be honest, we played badly, so I'm not in the mood.

- How do you overcome an opponent's defence that plays with three centre-backs and two holding midfielders?

- Of course, it's not easy. But you need to be more cunning. It's not the first time they've played like this against us. We had our chances, so, in my opinion, we had to be cooler in handling them.

- Was the missed goal very upsetting?

- When we took the lead, we had to keep the opposition away from our own goal. But we conceded, that's football. We still had 45 minutes to play, and we had to convert the chances we created.

- It was the first time you played from the start after your injury. How are you feeling?

- If we talk about my game, I would like to play better. In general, this match was very bad, hence the result.

- In the last minutes, the fans supported both teams...

- Of course, it is more pleasant to play when there are fans in the stands. Unfortunately, we couldn't please our fans with the result - we'll have to work harder.

- Dynamo played three matches in a week. Perhaps there wasn't enough time to recover?

- We have a large selection of players, there is a rotation of the squad, so I don't think that this is the reason for the loss of points today. We were ready for the game, but perhaps the missed goal broke us down a bit. However, I repeat, we had 45 minutes to play, we needed to score, but the opponent defended selflessly.

- What does Buyalsky's return mean for the team?

- Vitaliy is the team captain, so his return is very important for us. But, of course, he needs time, just like me, to get up to optimal condition.
