The head coach of Kyiv "Dynamo", Olexandr Shovkovskyi, commented on the broadcast regarding the crushing defeat by "Ferencváros" (0:4) in the 4th round of the Europa League.
Olexandr Shovkovskyi (photo: Oksana Vasyliieva)— What conclusions can be drawn?.. Playing with ten from the 17th minute… In the first half, we still had great moments, but the ball didn’t go in. And after the break, we conceded a goal, another one—and the game was done.
— Why was Vitalii Buyalskyi substituted after the red card?
— It was my decision.
— Did you lack physical condition in the second half?
— The team played. We just conceded a completely unnecessary goal after our mistake. When we were in the transitional phase, we went on the attack. The pre-goal pass was given by Kabayev. Just a simple moment.
— Was that the key moment of the game?
— It played its role.
— How do you assess the game of the young pair Mykhavko-Bilovar?
— They play for "Dynamo". Young or not young—no one will look at that. They have to understand this and make the right decisions. Decisions on the football field speak of a player's intellect, then comes the understanding of football and mastery. The first half, the team played normally in the minority, in the second—up to the goal after what I consider to be a terrible mistake. The game was done.
— Was the substitution of Shaparenko — so that he wouldn’t receive a second yellow card?
— Our football doesn’t end with this game. We are already looking to the future.
