The coach of “White and Blue” shared his thoughts after the game with Samsunspor.

“I don’t agree that there were two mistakes from Thiare, but we can’t leave the dressing room already 0-1 down. Of course, such mistakes affect the team’s actions and the result as a whole. Although at 0-1 we had a great opportunity that we had to take – when we didn’t score into an empty net. This is also a mistake that affected the final result. As I said, the devil is in the details. Unfortunately, these little things have not been playing in our favor lately. We make mistakes both in the organization of the defense and in the attack, when we do not realize our chances.
The opponent tried to do everything to prevent us from entering his penalty area. In some cases, the individual skill was not the best. To win matches, you need to win micro-duels while organizing both defense and offense. Unfortunately, this component was not of the best quality from our side. Although in the first half, until the second missed goal, I can’t say that we played badly or didn’t have chances to better realize the moments we had. But the score is on the scoreboard.
Rubchinskiy had a difficult time, returning to the squad after training and playing for the youth team, as did the other nine players who were forced into the squad two weeks into pre-season because they were training with the U-23s. This took its toll, he was injured, and not easily, and missed the entire training phase. Then he worked fruitfully and recently his work made it possible to fully get a place in the starting line-up. I think he played the first half at a fairly high level, then it became clear that it was difficult for him. Although I am satisfied with his work, attitude. Again, he had a difficult time, and given that Valentin missed a lot, the way he prepared is commendable. Well done.
We will prepare for each game and strive to improve our tournament position, gain victories and points.
Which of the injured football players was missing? You want me to get personal. We can say that all players were missing, we can talk about someone specifically, but the situation is what it is. Of course, the absence of players does not give us additional opportunities, but we have to start with what we have at the moment.
No matter what anyone says, the situation that has developed in our country leaves its mark on many things. I stopped talking about it, because we are already criticized a lot for the fact that we translate our failures to what is happening in Ukraine. But frankly, it can’t be overlooked or overlooked. Players who can strengthen the team or demand some crazy and unrealistic in our reality salaries do not want to come to us.
It is very difficult to be competitive relying only on your academy. When the war started in 2022, many guys from our DYFSH left the territory of Ukraine and are now successfully playing in Spain, Italy, Germany and other countries. These are the players who were supposed to strengthen Dynamo and be in the main team. Today, the situation is very difficult not only for football, but also for the whole country. These are obvious points, but I stopped talking about them because everyone is already bored. That’s why I try to speak directly about the quality of the game,” the club’s press service quotes Shovkovskyi as saying.
