- What was missing to achieve a positive result?

- Realisation of our chances. The opponents had three goals out of four shots, while we had a lot of shots, but to no avail.

- It seemed that the opponent played with extra motivation?

- It always happens when playing against Dynamo. But we have to be more concentrated and motivated to win the championship and play in the UEFA Youth League.

- What was wrong with the realisation? Did you analyse the game in the locker room?

- No, there was nothing yet - we will sort out our mistakes in theory.

- The match with Shakhtar is ahead. Now Dynamo are behind and we need only to win. Will this defeat give motivation?

- I think so. We will be more motivated to go to the next game, because we need only to win to become champions.

- In general, what is the mood now? What do you think is the reason for today's defeat?

- We will analyse this match on the theory. The mood is fighting now, we are not hanging our noses and are tuning up for the game with Shakhtar.

- Was there no jitters? In the first round we lost to Kolos, in this one, too, at the beginning nothing went well....

- No, there was no jitters. We wanted to repay them for the previous game, but we failed.

- How would you assess the opponent in general?

- Not a bad team, they play football, good performers. In the first round it was obvious that they are not bad in football and are not in vain on the fifth place in the table.
