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.
— 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.
