The head coach of Mariupol Alexander Babich commented on the victory over Akzhayik in a friendly match (3: 1).

- Do not want to evaluate and analyze companionable matches at the beginning of the fees. The task to win this match we did not put guys. It was important for us to see the correct movement of players on the defensive. Something happened, something - no. I am very upset that Sergei Gorbunov was injured. Maxim did not finish the match White. Sergei's suspicions of a fractured arm, Maxim's bruise.

In general, it was evident that the guys tried to perform the installation. We will look, analyze. At this stage, we are moving from defense, the attack has not yet worked.

- Today in the center of defense in the composition of Mariupol played football players who are in the team at the viewing. How would you rate their game?.

- Yes, we have a few guys. Before their arrival, we carefully studied them, watched the video. They have good qualities. But so far it's too early to say anything. The central defender, who played in the second half, just arrived today. So he looked fresh. But the guy who played in the first half, is training with us for the third day and gets serious loads. All potential newcomers we will look through games. The training process is one thing, but to see the player against a strong opponent is completely different. In the near future we will play with Shakhtar from Karaganda and Karabakh. So let's see these players.

I already said that we need to strengthen the center of defense. We need a player who will "run" will be aggressive. We hope that we will find such an artist. In order to ensure that the tasks that the Club has set before us, we need to intensively sharpen ourselves with very high-quality football players.

Recall that Mariupol was stronger than Akzhayik in a friendly match.
