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 did your team manage to do, and what did they struggle with?
— We approached this match responsibly, as it should be. I thanked the players for fulfilling the tasks. We understood perfectly well that it would not be easy to play against a team that is also at the top of the standings.
In principle, the players 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 already said, we approached this match responsibly and, considering many factors, I don’t want to go into details; everyone knows this well, we understood that we would not have the strength to act aggressively throughout the match. I would call it a well-thought-out game rather than a cautious one. We acted with intelligence.
— Why didn’t more attacking players Bragara and Guerrero come onto the field?
— Because I thought there was no point 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 also have an important match ahead. For us, only the first round has ended.
