And about. Dynamo’s mentor considers the victory over the ex-leader deserved and insists that the goal of the championship remains unchanged
Acting head coach Dynamo Alexander Shovkovsky commented on the away victory over Krivbass (2:0) in the 14th round match Ukrainian Premier League.
“It wasn’t easy. We found ourselves in a situation where recently we could not get the credit points we so desired. As a result, Mircea Lucescu decided to resign. During this time, we, first of all, tried to bring the guys to the emotionally necessary correct level, and secondly, to give them a new surge of desire to play football, and to play the way we see it. Some things were successful, some things were not, there were some mistakes and some luck. But I think today’s victory is deserved.”
“I know Yuri Vernidub very well, I know what kind of football the teams he leads play, how aggressively and harmoniously they attack. They were in first place and I think they will continue to show a strong game. We understood that today we had no right to even mentally admit the possibility of losing to them in desire, motivation, dedication – components that in modern football equalize the strength of teams. And then our tactical developments played a role.”
“Removal of Beskorovainy? We have bodies responsible for this. The episode is certainly interesting from the point of view of interpretation. In our opinion, this is certainly a red card; in the opinion of the Krivbass team, perhaps a yellow card would have been enough. For example, I thought that Vanatu should not have received a yellow card because he slipped, but he received it, and in an identical episode on the right flank, when Tymchik was already in front of the defender, he made a tackle and was not given a warning. The judges interpret the moments, but it is a fact that Vanat was ahead and had an advantage. “We also have a VAR system that can tell the referee whether a yellow card is enough.”
“I think judges need to think not about intrigue, but about violations of the rules. If there is a foul, show the card; if not, do not show it. It’s simple.”
“I think the question of how the team accepted me is not for me, but for the guys. Yes, the situation is difficult, but the tasks facing the club remain unchanged – the championship.”
This match was the first for 48-year-old Shovkovsky in his old-new position after the resignation of Mircea Lucescu. Before the current round, Krivbass was in the lead in the table. In the reporting match, Dynamo very quickly opened the scoring, and soon, already in the 12th minute, the hosts remained in the minority.
The Kiev team broke a streak of four matches without a win in the UPL and are in eighth place in the championship, but in terms of lost points they are already ahead of Yuriy Vernidub’s team. In the next match, Dynamo will host Rukh on November 26.
