On Sunday, December 1, in the match of the 15th round of the Ukrainian championship, Kyiv "Dynamo" played to a 1:1 draw away against Kovalivka "Koloss". The match took place in Kovalivka at the "Koloss" stadium. Here is the post-match press conference of "Dynamo" head coach Alexander Shovkovsky, which this time was held in the format of a flash interview.
- Did you expect such pressure from "Koloss"? What is the mood after such a result?
- Let’s start from the beginning. What pressure?
- In terms of the opponent's created chances.
- We understood perfectly that the opponent had a week to prepare for this match, and we had only two days.
There are matches when the ball just doesn't go into the net. There was a ricochet, and an absolutely unnecessary goal into our net.
In the second half we increased the speed, we had goal-scoring opportunities, and at the end of the match—really three goal-scoring moments, we should have scored, but unfortunately, we couldn't do it.
We lost two important points. But we always find it difficult to play in Kovalivka. We will be preparing for the next match.
- Now "Dynamo" and "Oleksandriya" are tied on points. They are direct competitors for first place and ahead your team has two matches in a row against Oleksandriya. There probably isn’t even a point in mentioning the importance of these encounters?
- You are absolutely right.
