Sergei Sidochruck said whether he managed to forget the previous season, which ended unsuccessfully for Dynamo.

"You do not have to forget - you need to analyze everything, everyone should answer the question, why it happened, and draw the right conclusions. This is history, it is necessary to leave it behind and move on, and the new season is new expectations and challenges, therefore, I hope it will be better for us than the previous one, "the press service of Dinamo.

He also told why Shakhtar managed to achieve a greater advantage at the finish of the championship.

"If we evaluate only by the number of points scored, then we lost in the fall season. It was then that the "miners" secured a solid advantage. But in the spring we looked better, after all, and scored more points, and scored more often.

What made you play at full strength when it became clear that the chances for the championship had already been lost? It's simple: you want to play constantly, and when you play for Dynamo (Kiev) with its numerous army of fans who support the team in every match, it's impossible to play badly. At least I think so, "he said..

Last season, Dynamo played for the first time under the new scheme. Sergey told me whether she justified herself.

"The decision was not made by us. There are people who think that we do not have enough strong teams, so 12 championship participants are the best option. I'm not an expert, but I think that the championship should be normal: in two rounds with at least sixteen participants. I think that we should do everything possible to return to the old format as soon as possible ".

He also told how the team said goodbye to Sergei Rebrov, as well as what are the main differences in coaching approaches from ex-mentor and Alexander Khatskevich.

"It was very sad. Until the final match of last season could not believe that he will not remain working with the team. Until the last day the coach behaved like a professional, completely giving himself up to the job: setting up players for games, worrying for the result. I would like to express my gratitude to him for the work done and wish him every success in his future coaching activities.

What are the main differences in coaching? As for the game aspects, then we have less preparatory programs, which, probably, everyone has already noticed. We try to play more vertically, the game scheme has also changed. The first thing he said to us: "The main thing is discipline". First of all, it concerns our work on the football field. Priority is given to defense, also trying to neutralize the strong qualities of rivals in the front line. Alexander Khatskevich - the demanding trainer. And his assistant Oleg Luzhny is also emotional.

He noted that the victories at the start of the season over the principal rival, Shakhtar, are not an occasion for optimism for this season.

"While too early to talk about it, because with the same Shakhtar we have this season, ahead of three matches in the league. And gold medals are won not only in confrontations: there are ten teams in games with which we have no right to lose points. Therefore, we need to adjust to each duel and move gradually towards the goal ".
