The former head coach of Mariupol Alexander Sevidov commented on the series without the victories of his former team.

Within the framework of the 16th round of the UCP, the Carpathians will compete with Mariupol. These two teams at one time or another headed the famous specialist Alexander Sevidov.

"I think it will be a very serious match. More precisely, not serious, and I would even say the key match at this stage for both teams. If one team wins, then the other team, at least, is eliminated from the competition for reaching the top six. Waiting for a desperate struggle. It's not always easy to play in Lviv. I will not even venture to guess how this match will end, "Sevidov said quoting the official website of the Carpathians.

"At the forefront of this confrontation will come the character and uncompromising. None of the teams of these qualities do not occupy. So it seems to me that there will be an uncompromising game. Again - a strategically important game in the tournament plan ".

"What is happening in Mariupol, I do not really have a right to comment. I think, not in the most optimal psychological conditions, the team is coming to the next game. In such matches, any tactic, probably, is receding into the background. The key moment is the character and, as it was fashionable to say before, fighting qualities ".

"For me, a two-month series without Mariupol's victories became an unpleasant surprise. I said this right after leaving the club, and I will say this now - I left the team, which is ready to win and which it did. Therefore, it became an unpleasant surprise. The reasons for this I know, but I will not say. Now to discuss the game Mariupol from my side is incorrect ".

After the departure of Sevidov from Mariupol, this team scored only 3 points in 6 games.
