Dynamo Kiev head coach Mircea Lucescu commented on the result on the Football TV channel
– We play with a strong team, that is the main reason for the result. A more experienced team, playing in a stronger league and regularly in European competitions. This is the difference. No need to search for anything else. Villarreal is simply stronger. He is very good at taking advantage of his opportunities. And we made mistakes in defense, our young defenders made a series of mistakes, which were taken advantage of by the speedy and technical Villarreal.
But if we had scored in the first minutes, if Vitya Tsygankov had realized her opportunity, everything would have turned out differently. The goal is a small but important detail.
– I mean, Dynamo lost naturally?
– The “Villarreal” deservedly won. We could probably play 1: 2.
– Why did “Dynamo” fail again on set?
– Lack of attention and lack of experience. We have young defenders, they lack experience. Hence, they are caught off guard by seasoned rivals. In the first goal we lost players when we left the penalty area. In the second, Zhora should have come out. Then he reacted to the blow, but the defenders should be more active. We knew that the Spanish are good at heading and we had to block flank passes. But all of this, again, is a lack of experience.
– What to expect from the Dynamo in Spain?
– I told the boys: play with a smile on your face, with joy! Because what he has already done, no one expected from last year’s results. Nobody expected us to advance to the Champions League and rise so high in European competitions. Now every game is a bonus for you.
