Kiev Dynamo held its first official match in 2018, tied with representatives of Greece in the European League. Dynamo led in the count, but in the end the fight was still missed and missed the victory.

- We had a setup to score a quick ball, and we did it. It's only bad that they did not keep the victory to the end - they let the ball pass at the end of the meeting. But it's okay - there will be a reciprocal game in Kiev, we will try to win at home.

- What, in general, the feelings from the first official match, and even the European Cup?.

- It is difficult, when the first duel at once such responsible. It is hard to tune in to such games and prepare for them.

- Dynamo did not immediately give the initiative to the opponent - were there opportunities to score the second goal?.

- Of course, and we ourselves very much wanted it. But it was our first fight after the fees, it was hard, we got a little hooked, and in the second half, we can say that the opponent beat us.

- Did the Greeks and the ball control you more, pressing you to their own gates?.

- Yes, after the break it was. Again, this was our first official match after a pause. In Kiev there will be absolutely other game.

- The main threat came from Christodalopoulos?.

- Yes, perhaps, he went lower, took the ball, attacked. They always had two forwards ahead, so we can assume that the defenders played one-on-one, thus, on the flanks of the Greeks formed the majority. Therefore, it was difficult to rebuild.

- Coaching staff warned you that you need to pay special attention to the game at standard positions?.

- Yes, but today there were a lot of innings, it was difficult to understand, we made a mistake that led to a goal scored.

- Is your yellow card justified?.

- In that moment I fouled, because the opponent ran into a counterattack, so I think that yes.

- Did you feel the pressure of the stands?.

- Yes, during the whole match they pumped the situation - it made our task even more difficult to achieve a positive result.

- AEK something surprised? It seemed that they played dirty enough.

- We were warned that the opponent will act tough, especially when taking the ball. But we also tried not to yield to them.

- In general, a 1: 1 draw is an acceptable result?.

- It's good that we scored on the road, but we need to win in Kiev and pass on.

The return match between Dynamo and AEK will be held on February 22 in Kiev at the NSC Olympic.
