Caylan Williams: «Samoylova's goal added emotions that lasted until the end of the meeting»

— Share your emotions after this exciting match.

— Everything is great, it's always nice to win, even if we snatched the victory in the last minutes. The main thing is that we scored three points. In my opinion, we played good football in the first half. Everything went well, but we couldn't finish our attacks. Of course, there were a couple of shots, but they didn't lead to goals.

We started the second half slowly. The opponent managed to put pressure on us and score a goal. I think it was at this moment that we reconfigured, the focus shifted towards attack, and we were able to earn a penalty kick. Elya Samoylova converted it, which gave us emotions, and they lasted until the very end, about 20-25 minutes before the end of the meeting.

— Tell me about your goal. How did it happen?

— It all started with a pass from Tichi (Tijana Matić — FC Dynamo Women's Team Note). At the right time! However, the opposing goalkeeper was in control of the situation. Then I sped up, and the ball bounced to Diga (Maria Digurova — FC Dynamo Women's Team Note). She saw that I was open and made a great pass.

It seemed to me that I just lightly touched the ball, but it turned out that I hit it quite well and beat the goalkeeper. Then I fell and lay there for about a minute. I thought I had hit the net or not

— Several games in a row, you start playing as a defender and then move to the attack. How do you find the role change during the match?

— Of course, the feelings are always different, because when I start as a defender, I see how my teammates play in the attack, also understand exactly how we need to attack and what to improve. In this regard, it's the best angle of view, since I see everything that happens on the field. You understand where you need to be, in what place, where it is better to open up, where defenders need help. It's really interesting.

Of course, it's great that then I returned to the attack, I'm glad about it. Once again, thanks to Diga for that pass. However, still I want to say that I play where the coach sees better. If he says to change the position again, I will do it.

— This is already the second consecutive strong-willed victory over Ryazan-VDV this season, and even in the last seconds. Some kind of new trend?

— Fortunately, we still won, albeit in this way, but there is no need to bring the situation to when we have to catch up. A lot of energy is spent on this.

I remember the May match in Ryazan, when we won with a score of 3:2, although we were losing 0:2 in the first half. So, we made a comeback. Crazy, to be honest!

The next match against them might turn out to be similar, but the main thing is that we finished this game with three points.
