Post-match press conference by Dnipro coach.

- The team have not converted their third major penalty kick, if we remember the matches against Inter and Saint-Etienne ...
- In training they shoot and convert them all. Unfortunately, it just so happened. Seleznyov performed pretty well on the pitch, it’s a pity that he failed to convert that spot kick. This is football.

- Why did Cheberyachko appear in the holding zone and why Bezus wasn’t put on the list?
- We gave Cheberyachko an opportunity to play as he is to appear this Thursday, along with Douglas, against Napoli. Bezus wasn’t put on the player list due to his performance.

- If not a secret, what were you talking about with Mircea Lucescu before the game?
- I went over and said hello to him as a host. That’s the way things are normally done.

- The forwards lacked just a few centimetres to round off passes ...
- At half-time, I told the team about that. Indeed, there were many chances. That’s their bread to win, they should feel such episodes. It rarely happens that the ball hits the head just on its own.

- You replaced Luchkevych at half-time ...
- He's just 18. He experienced so much emotion, he gives his all to the game, but that causes a failure sooner or later. I asked him to prepare for the match against Napoli, we gave him a break.

- What do you lack to beat Shakhtar?
- Some five men. You must be versed in football? The cheapest footballer costs 20 million there. Give me about five men, then we will compete on an equal footing with them.
