Dinamo-BSUPC - Zorka-BSU. Head coach comments
Yury Ivanavich, are you satisfied with the game of our team in this match?
- In principle, I am satisfied with the created and scoring chances. Yes, we lack freshness, but I think it's fixable. I think that we have not experienced any difficulties. Yes, somewhere they were slow, but there were no dangerous moments at our goal. We have created a dozen opportunities for a goal, but the realization let us down a little and that's it.
Did the girls fulfill all your plan for the match?
- You know, I do not like such questions (smiles) ... There are moments when the coaches say: the team won, fulfilled all the instructions for the match, and if it did not win - it means that they did not fulfill the instructions. I do not know. Yes, we had a certain plan for the game, which we kept and which we succeeded, some things did not work out. The main problem is not realized scoring opportunities. In the first and second halves, they had to score five or six goals.
Dinamo-BSUPC will make its debut in the Women's Champions League. Yesterday we found out the rivals, what can you say about the upcoming match of the first round of the Champions League (on August 18 the team will play against the "Apollon Ladies") and about the group in general?
- Could have gotten better, could have gotten worse. The draw is a draw, no need to comment on it, we need to play. Although here there is a slight regret that we could have gotten another rival, a team that has already completed the season. CSKA - on the move, "Apollo" - there is no information about this team yet. We know a lot about CSKA: we constantly watch their matches in the Russian championship. Therefore, the game will show everything, it is still pointless to comment on something now.
How do you assess your chances of a successful performance in European competition? Are the odds 50 to 50?
- All this is rather relative, but until it all started, yes, the chances are 50 to 50 (smiles).
