Kabaev: I served – I did a half-serve, half-hit. It flew well, but this does not affect the result

Midfielder Dynamo Vladislav Kabaev commented on the fifth defeat in a row in Europa Leagueyour goal into the goal Victoria Pilsen (1:2), and also talked about the luck factor and thanked the fans for their support.

“There were a lot of people there, I served. Did half serve, half hit. I was aiming, I won’t say at the top nine, but at the far corner. It flew well, but this does not affect the result in any way. Nobody gives us any points for this goal. It’s just nice here. But you saw my face. I didn’t react at all, I wasn’t happy, because it doesn’t bring any points.”

“Of course we expect [на попадание в топ-24]. Whatever depends on us, we will do. Even Real Madrid can’t say they win every match. I, my team, my coach would like to win every match. But this probably doesn’t happen. There are many examples – Manchester City right now.”

“Somewhere… I won’t say that we’re unlucky, but it means we’re not working on something somewhere. Everything seems to work out in training, but not everything works out in the game. Last pass, last shot… There is something to work on.”

“You know, many people write [слова поддержки]despite our results in European competitions. I am very grateful to them for supporting the team when we are at the top, and when we are somewhere… I don’t want to say it, but we must state the fact… we are herding the rear. I am very grateful to them. And this is such a breath of fresh air for us. But there will always be criticism. You need to pay attention to it, but react correctly. Therefore, thanks to all the fans for believing in us, and we will try to thank them with our play.”

Let us remind you that yesterday the team of Alexander Shovkovsky in the “home” match against Victoria Plzen managed to score for the first time in the current League Cup (the historic goal was scored by Vladislav Kabaev), but the UPL leader still did not avoid defeat.

The Kiev team is the worst team in the Europa League – in the overall standings they occupy the last 36th place, having no points. Dynamo’s closest neighbors in the basement of the table have two points each – RFS and Ludogorets. The Kiev team is five points behind the playoff zone (24th place).

Dynamo has three matches left to play in the general stage of the LE: on December 12, away against the Spanish Real Sociedad, on January 21, in Turkey against Galatasaray, and on the 30th of the same month, in Hamburg against the Latvian Russian Federation.

Shovkovsky’s team will play the next match on Sunday, December 1, away against Kolos. In the UPL, unlike the LE, Dynamo is doing well – first place with two points ahead of Alexandria and six points ahead of Shakhtar.
