Bohdan Lednev. Photo — scdnipro1.com.ua- Dnipro-1 has not won three matches in a row. What can you attribute this to?
- I think it was a bad run because in two of the three matches we won in the course of the game. We won 2-0 at Zorya, and we conceded a free-kick against Metalist 1925 in the last compensated minute of the game. I believe that in these three matches no one has beaten us.
- Given the current tournament situation, what is Dnipro-1's goal in the league now?
- Our task has not changed - it is to qualify for the European Cups. There are still matches ahead, including many head-to-heads, where we will try to get as many points as possible.
- How do you like Dynamo's performance in recent matches?
- The team is in good shape. In their last league match, against Polissia, they won a convincing 3-0 victory. So we are looking forward to an interesting and entertaining game.
- How did you react to the talks about the issue of moving the match with Dynamo to Kyiv?
- Not really. Especially as this issue was quickly resolved.
-How special or maybe even fundamental will the upcoming match against Dynamo be for you?
- Of course, for every player, matches against his former club are special.
