In the match of the third round of the championship, Dynamo defeated Shakhtar 1: 0. Coach "miners" Paulo Fonseca after the fight answered journalists' questions.

- This duel was a copy of our last meetings with Dynamo. Opponent gave the initiative, defended and went into counterattacks. The fact is that the people of Kiev today were better than us, because they scored, and we - no.

- In the summer off-season your team was joined by goalkeeper Alexey Shevchenko. Perhaps you will give him a chance now?.

- I understand what you're driving at. I trust absolutely all football players of my team, and Pyatov also.

- How do you feel about the fact that the Football Federation violated the rules, giving Ismail two matches of disqualification instead of three?.

- I have a different opinion: he should not have been given even two games.

- Do we understand correctly that you are building a new Shakhtar? Comment on the role of Moraes in it ... - Moraes plays great, in particular, today he worked a lot for the team. We were very good at getting to the penalty opponent - it's a fact. However, near her we were weakly aggressive and inflicted few punches on the goal. We tried to break through the wall, which today was the Dynamo, but Moraes in this match was not particularly needed. It was difficult. Nevertheless Junior is a great professional, he works very hard for the team.

- How do you judge in today's match?.

- I will not comment, otherwise they will say that I always complain about judging. We lost our own fault.

- Kovalenko did not play the best match, Danchenko got two or three passes in all time. Is it special or does not the team trust him?.

- Of course, the team trusts Danchenko, but you correctly noticed: the ball reached him very rarely. Oleg really had enough space to take it - it's a fact. When we had the opportunity to transfer the ball to the flank, we still stayed in the middle, where there were a lot of Dynamo players. Kovalenko? He superbly held the training camps and today, in my opinion, proved to be quite good. I think, not because of them we did not win.

- Totovitsky, Maicon and Fernando intensified the attack?.

- The guys were great to replace, although Micon had very little time. We reacted to the missed goal. At that time, the Dynamo was almost always defending against his own penalty. There was a feeling that the guys came out and something changed, but it's just the moment of the game.

- How do you now perceive the rivalry with Dynamo?.

- Absolutely the same way. Neither rivalry nor the game has changed. Today there was only one change, which left me satisfied:

I saw the stadium almost full. I think football in Ukraine deserves to be visited by him. This evening there were really a lot of fans, a fantastic spectacle. Always rejoice at this, because we are very motivated when so many people come to the stadium. I wish the Dynamo luck in the qualification of the Champions League.
