In a duel 9th ??round of the championship of Ukraine Dynamo defeated Desna with a score of 4: 0.

In this match, the role of the central striker played the nominal midfielder Benjamin Verbich, who eventually scored a scoring goal.

About a new role of the Slovenian and the game of the team as a whole told by Alexander Khatskevich.

- The first thing I want to say is, on behalf of the club and myself, I express my condolences to the family of Anatoly Kapsky, the president of BATE, who passed away yesterday.

As for the match, it is difficult to reveal the opponent's intense defense and the factor of the first goal is very important. Because the second half and was more effective in terms of movement. And in the first half we did not have enough free zones. But the standard came on time - opened the account before the break. As a result, the opponent in the second half was forced to play in a different way, there appeared space, zones, and we used this.

- Today, on the spearhead you used Verbich, not the nominal attackers ... - I have long wanted to try it in this position, but there was not enough courage and the right moment. But Verbich played on the edge earlier, in the last club, and played 12 or 13 matches.

On the eve I spoke with Benjamin and he assured me that he has no problems playing forward. I explained some details to him, and we made a decision. The main thing - he scored, clung to the balls and acted well in the podygryshe. The striker should score and Verbich with the task coped.

- Why did they release Mikolenko, not Pivarich?.

- He needed to rest. He was not at the training camp and the schedule for the team is quite tough. Mikolenko showed himself well for the youth team, and we did not risk anything, releasing him.

"What about Che Che and Sidclay?".

- I count on every player from the main clip, including the guys. In the application for the match are those who are better prepared and who better fulfills the requirements of the coaching staff.

"Is this victory for you like a mountain from your shoulders?".

- The tension went down a bit, of course. Positive result gives strength and confidence, what we lacked in the first half. Fear of mistakes always exists and will be, if there is no result. Plus the pressure when the guys read the news. We told them: the most important thing is what we tell you, the coaching staff.

There are problems and we are trying to solve them.. The schedule, I repeat, is very hard, but we do not have equal 20 players. So squeeze out of the players that you can. And you need to support them. There would be 20 equivalent performers - I would be calm.

But not all positions have sufficient competition.

- Andrievsky does not get in the application ... - He recently got injured and missed 10 days. Now he has returned to the system and trains in the general group. He understands our demands well, but he needs time to type that functional state that he had before the damage.
