“The errors in the defense have cut our wings.”

Dynamo Kiev coach Mircea Lucescu summed up the defeat to Juventus (0: 3) in the Champions League.

– Today in the field you could feel the difference in experience, the difference in skill. We have a lot of young players in our squad who are still learning and naturally make mistakes. I accept these errors. But the experience and skill of Juventus players is significantly higher today.

Our participation in the current Champions League is a lesson for our youth. We learn, we gain experience. As I said before, in all the games we have played so far in this Champions League, we have not complied. We did only 50 percent of what we had to, and after that, in the second half, we usually made mistakes. I do not admit that the players relaxed, but the lack of experience affected, the lack of concentration at the right time led to these mistakes. So our rival punished us. The opponent has more experience, more skill.

In fact, we played well today, we controlled the course of the match at the beginning of the second half, we controlled the ball. The whole time we were waiting for us to have a chance to score and level the score. But the mistakes made in defense, and the way we easily gave the ball to the opponent in the second catch of our goal, cut our wings. In every game we made mistakes that negated our good game.

– In matches with the best clubs, Juventus and Barcelona, ​​his team failed to score points, but the young players gained invaluable experience. In the match with Ferencváros, will you already demand a positive result?

– All these games with strong opponents should have made us stronger. We must learn, draw conclusions. Naturally, the final round match against Ferencváros is decisive. We must prepare very well for it and go out to the Eurospring.
