Dynamo Makhachkala defender Vladimir Kovachevich spoke about the team’s defeat to Khimki (0:1) in the 16th round match of the Russian Football Championship, writes Sport24. “We knew the game would be tough,” Kovacevic said. – Khimki is a strong opponent, they have a lot of good players. We could have played better. In the first half we had chances in attack, but we didn't play as well as we could. In the second half, Khimki improved, and we conceded. This disappoints us. Kovacevich also highly praised the work of Dynamo head coach Kurban Berdyev. “I’ve never worked with a better coach in my life than he did,” Kovacevic said. “He’s a good person, so losing makes us even more disappointed.” He suports us, and we want to win every next game,” Match TV quotes the footballer as saying. Let us remind you that Turkmen specialist Kurban Berdyev took charge of Dynamo before the start of this season. After 16 rounds, Makhachkala residents occupy 5th place in the First League standings, 2 points behind leader Akron.
