Oleg Gusev. Photo by Yurii Yuriev- Was today's victory difficult, or was it just an ordinary match for Dynamo?
- Of course, it was hard, a tough opponent, a pause because of the air raid. It's good to win and move on.
- How do you assess today's refereeing?
- I think the referee made mistakes in favour of both sides, there are questions. Yes, we won, but I personally think that Tymchyk could have been given a yellow card.
- At the end of the match, it was obvious that it was emotionally difficult for the teams, was there any psychological pressure on the team?
- Of course, the closer the finish of the championship is, the harder it is to play, the stakes are higher, we are fighting for the championship. Dnipro have their own goals, they want to get to the European Cups. Now there is a busy calendar, difficult matches, everyone wants to earn points, so you can feel the tension. I am glad that the guys showed character today and won, well done.
- How do you assess Dnipro-1's chances of qualifying for the European competitions?
- If they play the same way in the remaining matches, they will make their opponents bleed. They have a head start, so it is quite possible that they will achieve their goal.
