— Indeed, it was a tough victory. In the first half, there was exclusively one team on the football field. We had many opportunities to double the score and practically didn’t allow the opponent to do anything.
And in the second half, we conceded an unnecessary goal, and this mistake in defense left its mark. Then we started to rush, trying to fix the situation. I made substitutions to refresh the attack. We told the players that they needed to shoot at the goal. And we managed to do that, scoring an important goal at the end of the match.
— Is the nervousness a result of the match against “Vorskla”?
— Probably. We have our own tasks that we are trying to solve this season in the championship and the Ukrainian Cup. This responsibility is noticeable.
— Is Brazhko not ready to start from the first minutes?
— We first field those who are fit, not injured, and are in better condition.
— How would you comment on Vіvcharenko’s game?
— In the moment of conceding the goal, there are questions to other players as well. We will definitely analyze this episode.
— What can you say about Karavaev's performance, who replaced Tymchyk?
— Karavaev played well today and provided an assist.
— Before the match, information emerged that Luchkevych signed a deal with “Dynamo.” How do you comment on this?
— At the moment, I can’t say anything to you. Anything is possible. We’ve lost Tymchyk for at least a month and a half.
