Yuri Koval congratulated Shakhtar with the championship, commented on the ban on the game leased from the Donetsk players and shared his opinion on the fight for the third place.
In the 28th round of the Ukrainian championship Zarya lost to Shakhtar 2: 3, which allowed the Miners to register the championship.
"First of all, I want to congratulate the opponent with the championship. They deserved it with their game. But we would like the championship to be postponed for a couple of rounds, but, unfortunately, we had unforeseen problems. In addition to the fact that the leased players skipped the match, there was a question on Artem Sukhotsky. On the pre-match warm-up injured team captain Igor Tchaikovsky. I had to rebuild on the go.
Strongly influenced us by the second goal. There was confusion. Competently and promptly corrected the head coach. He rebuilt to play in two central defenders, strengthening the attacking potential. I think that for the last 10 minutes Shakhtar was already at the banquet, and we were still playing. Made them nervous. There was a football atmosphere. I think it was confirmed that with this format of the championship, he is intriguing until the last rounds.
I also want to congratulate everyone on the upcoming Victory Day and once again Shakhtar with the championship. We continue the struggle for the highest place, "Koval quotes the official website of Zarya.
In this game, the Lugansk players could not count on the players leased from Shakhtar, among which are such important performers as Ivan Petryak, Eduard Sobol and Dmitry Grechishkin. Koval was asked to share his opinion on this situation.
"I was asked a similar question after playing with Olimpic. There is one key point. When the championship consists of two circles - this is understandable. Only two games. Now, having got into the final six, two more matches are added. Those footballers who did not play with Shakhtar fall for three weeks. But here will suffer and those teams that give players a lease. If, conditionally speaking - Sable, Petryak, Grechishkin, did not play a certain number of games, then the game form falls. A Sable and Petryak - football team.
It is necessary to find a compromise. example Tankovskaya. When he was with us, he gradually approached the main staff. Today, even there is no clearance for the fact that he will fall into the first team of Donetsk. To take it to us again, but in the end he will not play key matches with Shakhtar, when only 10 rounds - there is no point. Dynamo found a compromise. Tsurikov, as far as the Internet can be trusted, was allowed to play.
The miner educates the players, buys them and if, for example, they inflict damage to the miners in terms of losing points, it will be wrong. They can be understood. But we have Kulach and Bezborodko, who even beyond the Yu-21 has no right to play. Something is wrong here.
Today in our country there are not so many high-quality football players. The financial situation now will allow buying and preparing players for only two teams - Dynamo and Shakhtar. If these guys do not take part in key matches, where they, like football players, grow, only regress will be visible.
I think that our leaders are already thinking about the fact that in case of getting into the top six, is it worth to say those guys that we can not use. Today in reserve we have children ".
For 4 rounds before the finish of the championship, the Dawn did not guarantee to itself the third place - it is only 5 points ahead of the sixth coming Chernomorets.
"What is good about this calendar is that we are playing with all the competitors.
I hope that Shakhtar will keep the winning streak and will not finish the championship with this meeting. I would like the sports principle to take over. If this does not happen, then the intrigue will be wrong. Then four teams should play for places from 3 to 6, and Shakhtar with Dynamo six play-off games, as in the NHL - to the complete winner of the ".
Until the end of the championship, Zarya will play with Alexandriya (at home), Dinamo (exit), Chernomorets (c) and Olimpic (e).
