On Thursday, November 27, in the 4th round match of the main stage of the Conference League, Kyiv «Dynamo» lost 0:2 away to Cypriot «Omonia». Here is the post-match press conference of the head coach of «Dynamo» Oleksandr Shovkovskyi.
Oleksandr Shovkovskyi— Do you believe you can lead the team out of this crisis, in light of recent negative results?
— First of all, I want to congratulate the opponent on their victory. They were more focused today. So, I think it doesn’t matter right now whether I believe it or not.
— Popov committed a foul in the penalty area, which resulted in a penalty and the first conceded goal. Did you talk to him about why he committed such an obvious foul?
— You know, I think it’s fair to say that I will take the responsibility for these results, for this game. Players make mistakes, it happens... I don’t think he intended to foul, it just happened that way.
— Voloshyn played as a forward today, even though there are three nominal forwards in the lineup. How do you think he performed today?
— Yes, it’s a somewhat unusual position for him, but he has played in this position more than once in the past.
— Nearly a year and a half ago, there was a 6:2 with «Partizan». What are the reasons for such regression of the team?
— I think today’s press conference is about the game, and it’s premature to summarize. There will still be time for that.
