Dynamo head coach Oleksandr Shovkovsky spoke on the eve of the playoffs of the playoffs of the Europa League qualification with McCabi Tel Aviv (the first game-1: 3). His words are cited by the official site of “White-blue”.

“Certainly, criticism of the team influences everyone, and we deserved it. In the past match, McCabi played the first half a draw 1: 1, had a plan for the second half, but then there was a removal that influenced both our actions and the result. Immediately I want to say that the two balls were possible. The desire, understanding and that Fortuna returned to us.

Loss? Unfortunately, Torres and Vanat will not help us in this game. We will not be able to count on these players.

Conclusions after the first match? This question can be answered in any way, for example, “We have made conclusions.” I will not tell you what we were talking about what the accents were doing, what we paid attention, and what we need to do to solve this question. Apparently it will be wrong. I can only say that we have done some work, we hope that it will bring results. We just won’t be – that’s for sure, and we understand it perfectly. But we have to do everything on us to go after playing with a high head.

New Kendzhorek coach? We have communicated for a long time, meeting several times when the team was here in Poland, we discussed possible cooperation, our relations within the coaching staff and the areas in which he would work with us. This is the analytics and standard provisions, and it will also be a head coach, will help me to solve the tasks facing the team. His experience speaks for himself, and we have greatly accepted him in our family, ” – said Shovkovsky.

The match between Dynamo and McCabi Tel Aviv will take place today, at 21:00 Kyiv time.
