Alexander Babich is satisfied with the game of his players in the match against Zarya.
Mariupol head coach Alexander Babich shared his emotions after the victory of his team over Zarya (3: 2) in the 12th round of the UPL.
"I am pleased that today we beat a very good team. We completely controlled the game and almost everything that we planned, the guys were doing. Except, perhaps, the last three or four minutes, when some players began to engage in something other than what they should, "the mentor began..
"After the game, I thanked the guys for winning. President congratulated us. Indeed, this victory is very significant for us.. We are very pleased to finally beat Zarya ".
"After removal, we have made adjustments to our game. Began to meet the opponent is not as high as before the removal. If they had scored there, but not there. If we talk like that, then we had to score three more goals and the score could be 5: 0 or 6: 0. We had a lot more scoring chances and prerequisites to increase the score.. But in the last minutes there was not enough concentration and could finish the match with an even better mood.. The main thing that won - scored one goal more. The fight for the first six continues ".
“How did you prepare for Zara? We always, in preparation for the match, analyze the strengths and weaknesses of the opponent. In the first half, we practically allowed nothing to create an opponent at our goal and scored good goals.. We carefully prepare for each opponent and for each game we select different tactics and strategies.. And I am glad that today we have achieved almost everything from what we planned. ".
“When to wait for Zubkov and Fomin in the starting lineup? Sasha Zubkov was not 100% ready. Like Pihalenok. They played two matches for the youth team of Ukraine and they had minor problems. But Boryachuk looked better functional and justified our trust.. Ruslan Fomin only recovered from the injury and spent only three days in the general group.. Therefore, we could not release it at the start.
But since he came on as a substitute, we’ve added a headache when determining the starting lineup. ".
"Khujamov? We are waiting for him. Rustam is still recovering. He has some minor problems, as the injury is not easy. We believe that by the next pause in the championship he will be ready. The presence of the captain will give us confidence ", - Babich quotes the press service of Mariupol.
