Goran Gavrančić: "There was indeed illegal hand"
24 October 2007
Goran Gavrančić, Dynamo defender - Was the team instructed to play attacking football? - I do not know. It just happened that attacking players moved ahead, whereas the defense stayed further behind, which caused a gap between the front and back lines.
- Did the coaches make any changes after two conceded goals? - No, actually not. We kept playing the same way and tried to deploy the same tactics. However we made a lot of mistakes.
- Was there indeed an illegal hand?
- Of course, I wish this hadn’t happened. But the ball did hit the hand… Andriy Nesmachnyy, Dynamo defender
- Perhaps, it would have been worth shaving your heads this time as well… - It is not about a haircut, it is about pulling the squad together. Also, this time there was no player to undertake the initiative. - Why were the two halves so different? - We handled our emotions and reached correct conclusions and the game went the other way. - What was the instruction for the match? - The coach told us to generate more pressure and not leave the mancunians much space. - What did you feel after two early conceded goals? - When you concede two goals within the first 20 minutes, it places any team under pressure. www.fcdynamo.kiev.ua
