Head coach of FC Lviv Yuri Bakalov commented on the upcoming fight with Mariupol.

On Sunday, August 26, Mariupol will play home with FC Lviv within the framework of the 6th round of the ULE.

"The work was aimed at improving the technical and tactical preparation of the team on the eve of the match with Mariupol. Also there was a theoretical lesson - they showed the strengths and weaknesses of the opponent to the guys. Mariupol is a very good and balanced team, played, it is played by qualified players. The team pretty well maneuvers between several tactical schemes. As for our match, we tried to take into account all these factors in order to achieve success, "- quotes Bakalov's official website FC Lviv.

"Now Mariupol has already departed from European competition. I think that the experience that they have gained will help them in the championship. Although they were eliminated from the tournament, but matches with rivals of such a high level are worth a lot. In each line there are leaders who are ready to lead the collective behind them - Khudzhamov, Yavorsky, Fomin.

Now Fedorchuk also strengthened the team, which added rigor in defensive orders. Fast flanks - Churko and Tishchenko. I think that now Mariupol is not in its place in the standings ".

"The team still has problems that need to be addressed. The team for the season was prepared by another coach, I see certain moments of preparation a little differently. But, in general, we need to work a lot in the tactical plan. To ensure that the team does not undercut for each specific opponent, and imposed its game ".
