The “white-blues” coach shared his thoughts after the game with Partizan.

Head coach of Dynamo Kiev Oleksandr Shovkovsky commented on his team’s victory in the first match of the other round of Champions League qualification against Serbian Partizan (6:2).

“I’m dying out of everything I’ve been through, but I just want to say out loud that the tragedy has not yet ended. Another match-contest, then we will continue to prepare for the next one in the same direction as before this game. We will be amazed and analyze the first match, analyze the decisions, without which there can be no football. But the most important thing is that all the effort that happened on the field, our training, the boys put together the setup for the game, and now we have a pretty bad result before the second match.

Why Oleksandr Timchik didn’t waste time before applying for the match? It’s a pity that even before the hour of collecting the wines, the injury has been dismissed and is now resurfacing. We are also waiting for Oleksandr to begin full training. For now you are working individually.

Substituting Karavaev at half-time? First of all, you never know what’s on offer in our lounge. Otherwise, I felt that it was necessary to score two replacements.

I'll bring back the gruesomeness. Naturally, I sensed the aura, but I could not give myself the opportunity to succumb to the spell and fully enjoy the atmosphere. It was necessary to be fully concentrated, to be aware of the boys, the rhythm of the team, to be aware of the need to reawaken, to provide guidance. If you are with a game, you can join it, and if you are happy at certain moments, then the game will be played for you.

This city gave us song information. Zokrema, what we were talking about before the match, so, that’s what happened. I won’t say anything about those tactical instructions that we tried to convey to our opponent, even though we had a match ahead of us, but the boys finished everything they asked us for. What was most fortunate was that my players did not know that they had awarded penalties to the opponents, and continued to follow the plan for the game. If the match didn’t go well, we can concentrate until the final whistle.

We know very well that in the Middle Lancia we have the bright Viconavians. Which of them will appear at the starting warehouse, we understand, depending on the type of tasks that are assigned to a specific opponent, the type of game moments, and also how I perceive them. And all the players that are in the team are the main warehouse, including those football players that represent Dynamo at the warehouse of the youth and Olympic teams of Ukraine,” the club’s press service said..
