The coach of the “white-blues” asked only one question after the crushing defeat by Real Sociedad.
The press attaché of Kyiv Dynamo Andrey Shakhov explained why the press conference of the team's head coach Oleksandr Shovkovskiy after the crushing defeat (0:3) by Real Sociedad in the match of the sixth round of the main stage of the Europa Leaguewas so short.
“Oleksandr Shovkovsky did not boycott the press conference, as a number of Ukrainian media outlets write. The head coach of Dynamo came to the meeting with journalists and answered the only question asked in the hall.
I emphasize – the press conference was short solely due to the lack of questions from the audience,” Shakhov wrote on his Facebook page.
Earlier it was reported that Shovkovsky briefly commentedDynamo's crushing defeat to Real Sociedad in the Europa League. The post-match press conference of the “white-blues” coach consisted of one question and one short answer.
After six rounds, the Kiev team occupies the last, 36th place in the overall standings of the main round of the Europa League. “Dynamo” remains the only participant in the tournament that has not yet earned a single point.
Having lost all six of its matches in the current Europa League season, “Dynamo” became the first team to lose its chances of reaching the playoffs early.
The Kiev club still has two more matches in the main round of the Europa League ahead of it, which will take place next year: on January 21, the “white-blues” will play against Turkish “Galatasaray”, and on January 30, they will face Latvian RFS.
The eight best teams in the main stage of the Europa League will reach the 1/8 finals. The clubs that take places from 9th to 24th in the overall standings will play paired play-off matches for a place in the 1/8 finals. The rest will finish their performance in European competitions.
