Matvey KOROBOV: “Only the 9th round, and Dynamo lost so many points”

Defender of the Dynamo youth team Maxim Korobov shared his impressions of the away match of the Ukrainian U-19 championship against Luhansk “Zora”, which ended in a goalless draw (0:0):

– Impressions after the game, to be honest, are not very good. A draw saddened us, because we lose points again, and this does not add to the positive. What didn’t work out? Probably, it is impossible to say for sure. Apparently, insufficient concentration, there was a lot of technical failure at certain moments: someone did not run a little, someone did not want to. It is from such small moments that the game is made. The coach, of course, is also unhappy. It’s only the ninth round and we’ve already lost so many points, it’s not very good.

– “Dynamo” had many moments in both the first and second halves. Lack of implementation or just bad luck?

– The implementation, of course, failed, but if there is no 100% mood and desire, the balls will not just fly into the goal. In order to score goals, you need to completely adjust yourself. You can’t score even in an empty goal if you don’t have 100% desire.

– In particular, you had several good moments, hitting the crossbar, several promising free kicks. Were you really upset that you couldn’t score?

– Of course, I was upset, but my priority is the team’s victory. Even if someone else had scored, I would have been happy for the team. Did not score – and let, most importantly, at least someone scored. Unfortunately, no one could do it today.

– Are you a full-time executor of standard provisions in the team? After all, you take penalties often enough…

– I practice a little long shots, try to hit the goal, score myself or make the goalkeeper hit the ball in front of him, and someone finishes. If there is an opportunity, I try to do it.

– Did “Zorya” surprise you? How well was this opponent dissected? Was there an underestimation or lack of concentration?

– The opponent was analyzed very carefully. This is a really good team. We had 18 points, they had 16, they were next to each other in the standings. They were preparing, setting up, but apparently some of the players lacked composure. These are exclusively individual moments.

– You have the next match in the UEFA Youth League against the Swedish Brommapoykarna. Have you already thought about him? What do you expect?

– First of all, I was thinking about today’s game, because if the game is not over yet, it is too early to talk about the next one. The opponent is good, the team is the champion of its championship. We will strive to win and move on.
