The head coach of «Dynamo» Oleksandr Shovkovskyi commented on the draw in the match of the 1st round of the Ukrainian championship against «Oleksandriya» on UPL.TV.
Oleksandr Shovkovskyi— Mr. Oleksandr, what are your impressions of the game? What worked for your team, and what didn't?
— We approached this match responsibly, as it should be. I thanked the players for fulfilling the tasks. We understood very well that playing against a team that is also at the top of the league table would not be easy.
In principle, the footballers followed the instructions for the game and had the opportunity to score. I think that, overall, the result today reflects the game.
— Can today's game of your team be called cautious?
— As I said before, we approached this match responsibly and, considering many factors, I do not want to go into details, everyone knows this well, we understood that we wouldn't have the strength to act aggressively throughout the match. I would not call it a cautious game, but a smart one. We acted wisely.
— Why didn't more attacking players like Brahara and Guerrero go on the field?
— Because I think there was no sense in changing the lineup for such a game.
— Overall, is this a loss of points for «Dynamo»?
— Undoubtedly, we understand that the season is not over yet, we have another important match ahead. For us, only the first round has ended.
