Dmytro Khomchenovskyi: We were ready to play Shakhtar both on the day of the match and on September 25

EXCLUSIVE from the midfielder of FC Kryvbas, team captain Dmytro Khomchenovsky within the column from the official sponsor of the FAVBET Club.

- Dmitry, what is the mood in the team after several weekends? Did you manage to reboot after the non-stop August schedule?

- I think that the mood is good, combative. The coaches gave four days of rest. I think that everyone has rebooted, rested at home. The boys have now arrived with new forces, with motivation to train and play.

- The last UPL match against Shakhtar was interrupted due to country 404 and the rematch was postponed indefinitely. How does the team comment on this situation?

- We were ready to finish the match. Like after the end of the air raid on the day of the match, but we were not allowed to do it; as well as on September 25, but "Shakhtar" referred to a busy schedule and did not agree to this date. I'll just remind you that we finished the game with Betis already on Friday Ukrainian time, we were on the road all day and arrived in Kryvyi Rih after midnight on Saturday. And the very next day they went to the game with the "miners".

- Kryvbas players did not comment on this match in the press, because it was interrupted. But still: do you agree that the game was given to our team?

- Of course, I agree. There was still time, we had moments to recover and, I think, we would have had the strength and desire to turn this game around. A little implementation, a little last pass was missing. We will still have time to finish this match and we can change everything. 

- The Sunday cycle and preparation for the game with "Left Bank" is ahead. What can the game be like against the debutant?

- The game will not be easy, it is one hundred percent. "Left Bank" proved in the last matches that it can play football. Therefore, we will prepare very seriously and there will be no relaxation.

- Ivan Dibango was recognized as the best player of Kryvbas in August. Yuriy Vakulko and Oleksandr Romanchuk are also in the top three. Who did the team captain vote for?

- Dibango's nomination is the choice of our fans, so I won't argue with them, because that's how it is, he's the best (smiles). As for Vakulko and Romanchuk, we support them, as well as all other teammates.
