Vasily Sachko, the head coach of Vorskla, commented on the victory over Olimpik (4: 1) and told about the situation in the club.
Poltava defeated Olympique in the 19th round of the ULL with a score of 4: 1.
"Before the game, looking at the standings, it was clear that there will be a very interesting match. Match for six points, because we were next to Olympique in the table. Today we got an interesting match in which we won with a big score. But I want to say that, despite the score, the game turned out to be hard. Olympic is a good team, they forgave us in the second half in some moments. It was very important for us to win and go on vacation with a good mood. We congratulate all Poltava, fans, with this deserved victory. The denouement will be in the spring season, "- said Sachko.
"How will I evaluate 2017 for Vorskla? It was a difficult year. There were loud victories and disappointments. In general, I rate the score well. I'm pleased with the attitude of the guys to work. Not happy with some games, some fragments. We see what we need to work on. A lot of work. The fact that we go on vacation in third place, still does not say anything. We understand that in the spring we are in for a difficult phase. After the match, the president came to the locker room, congratulated the children with the end of the season, with a victory. There is a lot of work to do, you need to rest and work hard at the training camps ".
There are plans, but I do not want to talk about it yet ".
"I ask the leadership about transfers, we need to strengthen quality executors to solve the tasks".
"Will we prepare for the second part of the season with an eye on the European Cups? I would not run ahead of the locomotive. We leave on vacation in third place, but the whole outcome of the championship will be in the spring.
Every team can get into European competition, but we will do everything to keep the high place and get into the zone of European competition. We do not understand the fans, and we do not understand ourselves in this case. The situation in Vorskla is more or less stable, our leaders have assured us that we will be all right. The words that are spoken to us, they are fulfilled ".
After 19 played matches Vorskla takes 3rd place, ahead of going fourth Veres by 5 points.
