The central defender of Dynamo Kiev finished after a defeat against Donetsk Shakhtar (1:3) in the match of the 11th round of the UPL.

“Brazilian Shakhtar was played with the aim of giving me discomfort, but this adds emotion to the public, for example, bias. I think it’s a good game, but it’s important to play without rotation. Possibly, I don’t have enough strength here. This is what I say to myself. I felt good about myself, and at the end of the match I was a little puffed up.

First goal? They are afraid of this kind of analysis, they are preparing for us, that’s why they blocked me, they tried to stream.

Before both matches, they prepared well, mastered the game, worked on the work, and they acted quite reasonably today. And at their standards they blocked me, there the partners didn’t get along for a bit, they missed a quick ball - like a cold shower, then they started to play more on emotions, not like they thought.

For us, this is a negative result, we accept it, even if it’s not finished yet, we’re still ahead, we’ll work hard and achieve what we want,” Popov said..
