Shovkovskyi: "Samsunspor is a very strong team"

Dynamo Kyiv lost 3-0 away to Samsunspor in the second week of the UEFA Conference League. At the post-match press conference, manager Oleksandr Shovkovskyi made a statement. Shovkovskyi said, "We conceded a goal early in the match. The team's morale dropped a bit. We conceded goals into open nets. We couldn't capitalize on our scoring opportunities. Our opponent is a very strong team. We played well until we conceded the second goal, but we couldn't capitalize on our chances. We're going through a difficult period. Nine players have joined us from the youth team. We'll try to do our best for our remaining four matches in Europe. Frankly, the situation in Ukraine is killing our morale. New players don't want to come to our country. We need new players. That's why the results are so bad. After the war started, our academy players went abroad. Today is a very difficult day, not just for football, but for all of Ukraine. Because we're isolated. Everyone in our country is exhausted by this situation. That's why we just want to talk about the game."
