Head coach of Alexandria Vladimir Sharan commented on the defeat of Dynamo.

In the 5th round of the Ukrainian Premier League Alexandria lost for the first time in 17 matches. Team minimally lost Dynamo - 0: 1.

"I think that Dynamo deserved victory. The people of Kiev played much better than we. We planned to play differently, but we could not show constructive football. Perhaps the important factor was that Grytsuk yesterday was injured and could not help today. Therefore, we played three defenders, "- said after the game, head coach Alexandria Vladimir Sharan.

"We can say that in the first half, and in the second half, Dynamo kept us at our gates. In principle, before the break we were well defended, but only the exit to the attack was at an unsatisfactory level. In such a situation, the team of the Dynamo Kiev level will definitely push the opponent. And this happened with the exit on the field Tsygankov. With this performer Dynamo shows a completely different football, more creative in the attack. In defense, we played generally well, but, you know, that to rejoice that we missed one goal, I can not. We must admit that our players looked insecure in their abilities ".

- You yourself did not make your wards an extra emphasis on a reliable game on the defensive?.

- No. On the contrary, we tried to relieve the children psychologically. Before the match with Arsenal, I often raised a voice on the players to adjust the team to a duel with the opponent, who takes the last place. And, as a result, the mood was excellent for us. And today we were just trying to show a decent game. But there was no construct in our actions. Two combinations per game is not enough to count on a positive result in Kiev.

- Do you think that Tsurikov's candidacy is worthy of consideration for the position of the left defender in the Ukrainian team?.

- He has very strongly added. His position was originally a left midfielder. But with the departure of Batsula, we counted on Tsurikov as a left-back. He deserves to be invited to the national team. Believe me, his current performance is very serious. Such test results, as in Tsurikov before the start of this championship of Ukraine, I have not yet seen! Therefore it would be desirable, that Andrey Nikolaevich Shevchenko drew attention to it.

- Why, after a missed goal, did your team still play defensive football?.

- I drove the guys to meet the opponent above. But at the same time, I realized that they did not have enough strength for this. But they aspired. We have what we have. Claims to the guys I do not have. We know the capabilities of each of our players. I let Kovaltza out because he knows how to hand over the gear and hold the ball. We naturally wanted to equalize, but the class is a class.
