Andriy YARMOLENKO: “I never lost on my birthday before”

Andriy YARMOLENKO: “I never lost on my birthday before”

- You must have imagined your birthday in a different way…

- I don’t even want to talk about it now. We must work on our mistakes and get ready for forthcoming matches.

- No one expected your defeat by big margin…

- I guess we haven’t fulfilled what the head coach told us to. After the first goal everyone was very upset though we had a lot of time to change situation for better. Frankly speaking I’m embarrassed for such final score.

- Did Aalborg play the way you expected?

- We haven’t seen any surprises. We knew that Aalborg are good team. Even though they were hammered by FC Steaua București (0:6) they had great chances when the score was 0:0, but didn’t use them.

- You had a good chance, when you hit the post…

- I guess I could do better in that situation. Maybe if I scored everything would have finished differently.

- What will it take to defeat Aalborg in Kyiv?

- I guess we must change our attitude as after two victories we decided that we are invincible.

- Didn’t you lack motivation?

- Such games happen sometimes. It’s necessary to come down to earth. It’s always a pleasure to win, but we must also accept failures with dignity.

- Is this the saddest birthday in your life?

- I never lost on my birthday before. I hope that won’t happen next year.

- After the break you created few chances. Didn’t those, who made substitute appearances, adapt to the game?

- I don’t want to pass the buck. Aalborg played orderly for defense and we lost possession too often.

- Did the slippery turf influence the game?

- Was it dry for Aalborg players (smiling sadly)? I thing we must look for reason for defeat in ourselves.

- Three teams in your group have six points after three matchdays…

- That’s fine, we must defeat Aalborg and Rio Ave FC at home arena. Still we should analyze this game at first as FC Dynamo Kyiv can’t lose by such margin.

- It seemed that Dynamo were in great conditions before this game…

- Yes, journalists paid attention to that. Anyway, as I’ve said, such games happen. We’ve come down to earth.

- Have you got more passion to win after this match?

- We have. I’m ready to take the field right now once again. I hope supporters will forgive us this defeat and we’ll gain revenge in Kyiv.
