Dynamo Kermanych spoke about the exit of his team to the next round of the Cup of Ukraine.
Oleksandr Shovkovskyi, FC Dynamo Kyiv October 29, 2025, 10:29 p.m
Oleksandr Shovkovskyi, the head coach of the “White-Blues”, shared his impressions of the result of the principled confrontation.
“First of all, I congratulate all Dynamo fans on the victory and on to the next round. We defeated our main rival, this victory is very important. Of course, there was a lot of respect for the Shakhtar players in the first half. We did not play as aggressively as we agreed. In the second half, we already played, I will not say that it was more risky, but we slightly rearranged the interactions on the field when organizing the defense, especially when the opponent started attacking from the goal.
But even before the game, we focused the attention of the players on the fact that success comes to the brave, for this you need to be decisive, be the first on the ball, be confident in your actions, play without excessive emotions, because excessive emotions can sometimes get in the way. In today’s game in the first, they did not play in our favor. In the second half, when we already conceded, we were already more confident in our actions and perfectly understood what we had to do. Success is an integral component of perseverance, confidence, and courage. Success, victory and fortune smile at the brave. But all this must be earned by one’s desire, work and contribution to the team’s actions. For the second half, of course, thanks to the players. We will review the first half and prepare for the next matches.
Any game in which Dynamo Kyiv takes to the football field is important. I always tell my players one thing: the past cannot be changed, the future is unknown. What happens today and tomorrow is important, because today we are building our future. Your attitude, training, preparation, sleep, nutrition, any details. There are no trifles either in football or in life in general. Therefore, the most important thing is exactly what is happening in our lives today, and the next game.
There are statistical data, there is preparation for the game. When we prepare for a game, of course we take into account the statistics, but not how many matches we won, how many we didn’t win. We take into account other things – players, interactions, combinations, movement on the football field. Moments directly related to the game. And we never talked or even mentioned about the series.
We should not distinguish between victories and defeats. These are the words of Valery Vasyliovych Lobanovskyi, and I completely agree with him. We have to look at the game, what gave us more opportunities, what we did to win if we talk about today’s match. We must monitor our actions in order to win. It is not easy to win every game, it is not always possible to do it, but we have to consistently move in this direction. And how not to elevate yourself emotionally to some horizon after victories, and not to lose heart when it fails. We have to prepare intelligently, control our emotions and give ourselves fully both in the training process and in the matches. The next game will be the most important for us, just like today’s game was.
Once again, I congratulate all Dynamo fans with an important victory, with an exit to the next round of the Cup of Ukraine. I wish everyone a quiet, calm, peaceful sky, a quiet restful night, although it is reported that they have already activated behind the parapet… Glory to Ukraine!” — quotes the words of Oleksandr Shovkovskyi Dynamo’s official website.
