Mariupol coach Alexander Babich commented on the victory over Arsenal-Kyiv.

After the victory over Arsenal-Kiev in the third round of the ULL championship, the coach of Mariupol Alexander Babich answered journalists' questions.

- The game is forgotten, the result remains. Today we needed exactly the result. We did not score points in the starting two rounds, plus we played 5 games in 15 days. Therefore, we assumed that a beautiful game on our part is not something that will not happen, but we simply will not be enough. I'm very glad that the guys showed their character. This is primarily. There were very good moments in the game, when we controlled the ball, when we went into the attack. I can only say words of gratitude to my team, since the schedule is very complicated and we lack strength somewhere. But, let's be frank, this week was very positive for us. We scored three points in the Premier League and went further in the European League.

- Today in the composition was not Pavel Polegenko. Do you take care of him on Bordeaux?.

- Today we tried to hold a small rotation. Although how small? 7 people did not play with us.

Someone gave a rest, someone has microdamage. We played 5 games in 15 days with almost the same composition. Therefore, some of the guys we took care of and counted on those who played less. Indifferent today on the field I did not see. All worked until the end. Again, we assumed that there will be a heavy match. And I'm glad that we brought him to victory.
