Kyiv Dynamo defender Oleksandr Karavaev commented on the team's victory over Polissia in the match of the 4th round of the Ukrainian championship during a FootballHub stream.
— Oleksandr, judging by the final score, do you think the physical condition, considering the participation of both teams in European cups, is better for Dynamo?
— Probably. Maybe we are more prepared and already used to such a rhythm. But there is no other way — we need to go out and win to fight for first place. In our club, no result other than victory is accepted.
— Dynamo utilized counterattacks very well today...
— I wouldn’t say it was the game plan, but we know every player on our team, we know their strengths, and we use that. The same Kabayev or Voloshin can break into free space. We utilize our strong qualities. We saw there were free areas, so we took advantage of that.
— Do you agree that in the first minutes Polissia looked decent, and then they were broken by the first conceded goal due to their own mistake?
— Polissia under Rotan looks very strong, organized. We watched their matches in the Conference League. It was not easy for us at first. We played our game and did not give up, managing to respond quickly to the conceded goal.
— What do you think about the draw of the main round of the Conference League? Could the opponents be weaker?
— We have very good, very strong teams as opponents. It will be interesting to test ourselves against them. We understand that it will be difficult, but if we want to progress, we need to play against such strong clubs.
