Head coach of Kyiv’s «Dynamo» Oleksandr Shovkovskyi commented on the draw with «Vorskla» (1:1) in the match of round 19 of the Ukrainian championship.
Oleksandr Shovkovskyi— How do you feel after such a match?
— We are disappointed with this result. But the result is the summary of the quality of the game we demonstrated. We needed to play more vertically, which, unfortunately, we didn’t do. We tried to play our usual style of football, but couldn’t quickly adapt to the football field. As a result, we didn’t control the game and lost important points.
— You called on the players to play more tightly...
— The game depends on the positioning of the players, the speed of the ball movement, and decision-making. Today we didn’t do what we are used to and what we agreed upon. Our passes didn’t speed up the game but slowed it down. So, we couldn’t execute fast combinations. And in defense, we made mistakes, one of which led to a goal when we allowed a cross and a shot. Therefore, to be honest, the result of this game is deserved. And I’m not satisfied with the players’ actions.
— Was there anything positive?
— (After a pause.) We will see, analyze... Right now I can’t tell you. It seems that everyone is without injuries, which is positive.
— So everything is fine with Brazhko?
— I can’t answer that question right now. It seems there’s no serious injury, but there are some issues, and our doctors need to have an answer to this question.
