The defender said that the team will learn a lesson from the heavy defeat
Defender Dynamo Alexander Karavaev commented on the devastating defeat from Ferencvaros (0:4) in the fourth round Europa League 2024/25.
“I believe that Dubinchak’s sending off was an accident because he was fighting outside the field and stepped on an opponent’s foot. Bragaru had the same thing in the first match against Lazio, when he also took the ball and accidentally stepped on his foot.”
“But the sending off, on the contrary, brought us together, we played very well in the first half. We had a lot of chances, including me, there were crossbars… We just didn’t capitalize on our chances. And we played with ten of us. We could also have played in the second half, but, to be honest, I didn’t recognize the team after the break. They just gave up. We will talk, because there are no excuses for such a game.”
“In principle, everyone held out, even ten of them ran forward. But this all comes from the head, everyone must understand themselves and understand that even if we are playing with ten players, we still cannot play, so that we must adhere to our agreements and the game plan. Yes, it’s a little harder because we have one less player, but we need to play completely differently, give ourselves on the field.”
“We didn’t score, although the game was going well even with the score 0:0, we could have scored in the second half. But there were unfortunate goals, childish mistakes… At this level, any team punishes mistakes.
“I really apologize to our fans, to everyone who supports us. I understand that it’s hard for everyone… I’m sure we will play differently. This will be a good lesson for us, we must go through it, and only through the next games we must show that we have learned from this lesson and play in a completely different way.”
In the match in Hamburg, Dynamo was already in the minority in the 16th minute – Vladislav Dubinchak received a straight red card. The Kiev team started conceding goals after the break – Fradi opened the scoring in the 54th minute, and by the middle of the half it was already big.
With four defeats and a goal difference of 0:10, Dynamo is the worst team in the general stage of the Europa League. Shovkovsky’s team will play their next match on November 10 in the UPL against Polesie, and in the Europa League the white-blues will now take to the field on November 28, when they will host Viktoria Pilsen in Hamburg.
