- Of course it was psychologically difficult to play after the loss in Kharkiv. I think that we didn’t manage to demonstrate a good game against Illichivets, but at the moment win is the only thing that matters. Fortunately we have cheered up a bit.
- Your cushion was minimal and Mariupol side could equalize the score…
- Of course we were to score more not to feel nervous. It’s good that we have Maxym Koval who saved the penalty.
- What can you tell about that penalty?
- It seemed to me that Khacheridi didn’t foul against Mandziuk, but the referee had another opinion.
- Now you have to follow Metalist Kharkiv games…
- Our task is to win every game left. And then we’ll see what happens.
- Do you think Metalist can lose points only as they face Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk?
- Well, they still have a game against FC Karpaty Lviv which will be difficult for them. We had to defeat Metalist in Kharkiv in order not to follow their matches now.
