The head coach of Dynamo Kyiv, Oleksandr Shovkovskyi, commented on the 3-0 victory over Polissia in the match of the 25th round of the Ukrainian championship on the broadcast.
Alexander Shovkovsky- There are many things we need to focus on. It's about how the players fulfilled our agreements. We can say that in general, the game was a success, although it was not easy, and we know how organised and very brave our opponent is. But we prepared, analysed Polissia's game in detail and tried to do our best to offset their strengths and take advantage of the moments we noticed.
- Today, Taras Mikhavko played in the centre of Dynamo's defence...
- I have already said and will say it again: we have 24 field players and four goalkeepers. And each of them has the opportunity to start, each of them is preparing. The starting line-up is determined immediately before the game, depending on the condition of the guys, their performance and preparation. There are different situations. At any moment, anyone can go on the football field and everyone must be ready for it. They prove this in the training process, and I am pleased with how responsible they are for the training process. I like their desire, they are sometimes dissatisfied with being changed, they are unhappy when they are not in the starting line-up - but that's normal, that's good, because they want to play and want to win. Unfortunately, only eleven players can be in the starting line-up.
As for Taras, unfortunately, after returning from the national team, he was injured. He was preparing, he needed to recover. We gave him the opportunity to play for the U-19s to gain confidence. Today we decided that he was ready, and he came out in the starting line-up. Everything is fine, it's a normal process. Every game is like a decisive one for us. We are moving on.
- Volodymyr Brazhko was again left out of the squad...
- Unfortunately, he hasn't even started training after his illness. He is recovering. Tomorrow the team will have a day off, and from Tuesday, I hope, he will start working with us. Perhaps individually, or perhaps in a group.
