Dynamo — Rukh 0:0 Match review 09/21/2024
Oleksandr Shovkovskyi’s team lost points for the first time in the new campaign of the championship of Ukraine.
“I think the game was interesting for the fans, both teams created a lot of chances. You have to give credit to the Rukh team, to its players. Of course, if we had used our chances in the first half, it would have been easier for us in the second half. But this is football: sometimes you score from nothing , and sometimes you don’t realize one hundred percent moments. What was missing? There were not enough goals,” added Yarmolenko.
Andrii was asked whether it is possible to say that Dynamo did not fight enough in the final phase.
“I think we definitely didn’t lose the fight, we just didn’t use our moments, especially before the break. And in the second half we went forward, opened up, that’s why Rukh had two or three good opportunities,” he said.
The Kyiv winger also expressed his opinion about the hardness of the Lviv team’s game.
“In my opinion, everything was within the normal range. It was a clean man’s fight, the referee allowed to play in many episodes. I think it’s better than when the whistle blows at every fall. In short, I didn’t see anything particularly rude today. Yes, we we didn’t manage to win, yes, we lost points, but it still had to happen sometime, because it’s hard to go through the whole season without a loss,” explained the “white-and-blue” player.
Yarmolenko answered whether today’s match was a rehearsal before the match with Lazio in the Europa League and shared his impressions of the new tournament format and opponents.
“No, there was no rehearsal. We will prepare for the European Cups only after today’s game. The schedule is very full, there is no such thing as we consider one game more important than another, because three points are given for each victory. Therefore, you need to give your all on the field every time and Unfortunately, we didn’t manage to do that. The draw has already taken place, even if I wanted other opponents, it’s always interesting It will be a very busy schedule, when the games are in three days on the fourth or in two days on the third. The most important thing is to have time to recover and rest after the road, but it’s okay – we will prepare to represent our club and country in Europe,” Andrii said.
The performer had the experience of playing games in a busy schedule when he played in the EPL, so, finally, he told whether the situation with the calendar will be familiar to him.
“If the players of the Premier League traveled by bus or train, like Dynamo, Shakhtar or Kryvbas, I think they would not be able to play after 48 hours or after 72 hours. This is a little different. No one in Europe has encountered something like this. It is one thing when there is a full recovery , when you can come to the base at any time to do all the necessary procedures, and it is completely different when you travel by bus for 20 hours in a sitting position I think everyone will play, everyone will have their chance, we just need to take advantage of it. We will act as a single team and support each other,” said the Dynamo player.
As a reminder, Shovkovsky’s wards will meet Lazio in the first round of the main round of the Europa League on Wednesday, September 25 (starting at 22:00 Kyiv time).
