The head coach of Dynamo U-19 commented on the victory of his wards in the match against Left Bank.
Ihor Kostiuk (photo: fcdynamo.com)- We had the advantage throughout the match. The game was under our control, we scored our goals. We realized what we had planned for the game. We played well in defense. But we still have some things to work on.
- This is the fourth match since the beginning of the season that Dynamo has won with a crushing score. Does this indicate the strength, level of the team or the good shape that your wards have gained? Or is it the class of the opponents?
- First of all, we look at our game, implementing on the field what we need in all phases of the game, in the transitional phases. The way we go into attack, how we reorganize for defense. First of all, we evaluate our game.
- Matviy Ponomarenko took the field for the first time after a long break. Will he train with your team? Are you counting on him in the UEFA Youth League?
- He is still recovering from his injury. He will get game practice. Then everything will depend on whether he is needed in the first team.
- As you predicted, Maribor won the first match in the UEFA Youth League. Did you watch the game?
- Frankly speaking, it is difficult to make an assessment against such an opponent. Of course, Maribor is a good team, organized and equipped with quality players. We will also watch the return match, the team's matches in the Slovenian league. We will analyze them and prepare.
