Taras Mikhavko. Photo — Yu. Yuryev— How did you support Denys Popov after the episode with the penalty awarded in the first half?
— Of course, we supported him. This is football, and everyone makes mistakes. It happened that Denys accidentally clipped the opponent, and a penalty was awarded.
— What would you like to say to the fans in light of the recent results?
— It’s hard to say much, as the results have been negative over the past two months. Something’s just not right. You could say it’s a rough patch. Honestly, I can’t even explain what’s wrong. We work, we train... Honestly, it’s hard to say.
— Was the second conceded goal a result of the team pushing forward and the opponent counterattacking?
— Yes, of course, we were attacking and wanted to equalize, but got hit on the counterattack. It happened that they scored.
— What needed to change in the second half?
— We came out with the intention to make a comeback, but it didn’t work out. We are all disappointed and we understand that something is wrong and something needs to change.
