Kostyantyn Vivcharenko

— How difficult was it today? How much did you expect such resistance from the opponent?

— Of course, we are dissatisfied with the result; it’s the fourth match in a row that we’ve drawn. We all care about the outcome because for us, a draw feels like a defeat. It’s hard to accept such a result, but this is football, and we will fight on; there are many more games ahead.

— Did the defeat in the Conference League against Crystal Palace affect the morale?

— We need to quickly readjust and forget those matches that have already been played. The next game is the most important. We lost then, we drew now, so there is no satisfaction. But it’s not a big deal; we will train, improve our game. I also thank the fans for their support.

— What happened in the episode with the conceded goal? Did someone underperform?

— We will analyze this episode. The coaching staff will tell us what needed to be done, and we will move forward.
