- We realized that the game against FC Illichivets would be difficult as we had little time for reconditioning after the match against FC Thun. Mariupol side play very orderly. They have good physical conditions. I want to congratulate players and fans on this win. I think it’s deserved. The team fought till the end.
- Was Yarmolenko’s red card fair?
- Frankly speaking I didn’t see that episode, but I was told that the red card was fair.
- Why do your players use set pieces not very effectively?
- We work on that. It’s difficult to find time as we play twice a week.
- Why did you clutch your head late in the second half?
- I didn’t understand referee’s decision. Why didn’t he let our player make substitute appearance?
- Are you satisfied with refereeing?
- It’s difficult to say at once. Red card was fair, penalty was awarded, so everything is fine. It’s a difficult and deserved win. We can’t defeat our opponents 9:1 all the time.
