Bakalov commented on the reasons for the defeat in the match of the 11th round of the Championship of Ukraine among the teams of the Premier League with the Chernihiv Desna.

- You have probably already made conclusions on the results of the match with Desna. What happened to the team in that game? Why guys were not like themselves?.

- The team was preparing, the team tuned to the match. Maybe a quick goal broke what we planned.. But maybe the point is the frequency with which the team prepared for the game.. We forced it in functional and psychological terms, and in the first games that the team played after the match with Shakhtar, it moved gradually.. Each team has certain recessions, and, perhaps, we have it happened on this game.

The team was not easy to play at 14:00. We played all the time in the evening, here we had to rebuild. It was necessary to build a training program focusing on this time.. Still, little things in football does not happen.

- 1 win, 4 draws and 2 losses - a natural result of your work with the team in the first round of the championship? During the time with the guys, what do you think the team has succeeded in and what else needs to be worked on?.

- Everyone ascribes a defeat to Shakhtar to me, but then I came to the team a day before the game, so I would not say that this is my defeat. No football expert will say what can be done correctly in such a short period of time, and what is not.

After that, the team played a series of games, and what could be adjusted, we tried to make. But not everything worked out.. If we sum up the intermediate result, I can say that I am satisfied. But I think that we did not get at least three or four points.. We can say that we lost the tournament points in Mariupol. With Alexandria led in the count of two goals, but in general could be left with nothing. Nobody believed that we could catch hold of credit points in Zaporozhye, but we tied with Zorya. Therefore, to sum up, we could and should have had more points than now..

Need to work, work and work on absolutely everything. Team only at the beginning.

Thank you guys for your patience and patience, for hearing the words that the coaching staff is trying to convey to them. No matter how hard they were, especially in the pauses, when it was necessary to tighten the functional training, they were sympathetic to this and saw that this brings a certain result..
