Karavaev: Victoria is a very strong club, which was knocked out by Krivbass in the summer, but Dynamo wants to score points in Europe

Defender Dynamo Alexander Karavaev appreciated victory his team in the match of the 14th round of the UPL over Chernomoretsand also shared expectations from playing with Victoria in the Europa League.

— It seemed that Dynamo achieved victory very easily…

– No, we just followed the head coach’s instructions. If we had realized our chances even better, we could have achieved victory even easier.

— The scheme of play with three central defenders, how do you like it?

— If we play correctly, then this is a very strong move from our coaching staff. If we look at how Italian champion Inter plays, then… I really like how Inter plays with this formation.

— You can approach Victoria in this combination, are we talking about defense?

– Don’t know. This is all decided by the head coach.

— How do you like the performance of your forward Vanat, because he didn’t play in the Ukrainian national team, but here he came into the starting lineup and immediately scored?

– He scores, well done. He probably had an injury, but he healed it and helped our club.

— Have those football players who did not travel to various national teams recover?

– Yes. We also had days off, plus we did a good job at our base.

— What’s wrong with Andrei Yarmolenko?

— He is recovering from damage.

— On Thursday, Dynamo will host Czech Victoria in the 5th round game of the Europa League. What can you say about this club?

— In the summer they knocked Krivbass out of the Europa League. Victoria is a very strong club, we need to analyze their game. So far they are in second place in the Czech championship, and they are performing quite well in the Europa League. You need to play them correctly. We want to score points in Europe. We have a chance.
