Alexandria head coach Vladimir Sharan talked with the club press service, talking about the final fights of his team in 2019.
“I think the matches in the Europa League have added strength and inspiration to us.”. International matches are a great opportunity to test all the components of modern football: game discipline, fighting spirit, organization of the game, individual skill. And in the matches with Shakhtar and Dynamo, we played well, although minimally lost to Kiev. In the game with Shakhtar, we drew, taking the leader’s points for the first time in the current championship, and this gave us more confidence in our abilities, ”the coach began.
Sharan told what is the situation and health teams.
“In addition to Artyom Sitalo, everyone is healthy and most players are ready to play in the first team. It's very nice that the quality of the game is growing among young players "
The specialist also commented on the decision of the KFK UAF to disqualify him for the next two matches.
" I, as a trainer, misbehaved in some moments. But the removal of Yuri Pankiv, who played the ball, and not the opponent, as well as those words that I heard from the referee of the match Sergei Boyko during the break (for some reason I didn’t take these words into account by the FTC), when I turned to him with the words:. Boyko answered me: “Wait, there’s another second half. You’ll also see what will happen in the second half " How after such words you can be calm and manage the team?
" I demand the referee give yellow to this player. Runs up smartly and shows a yellow card to me. The fourth referee, who was next to us, says: " Quickly turns around and gives yellow Grishko. I don’t know what this is talking about, maybe we have some personal relations with this arbitrator? This is simply not the first moment with this referee. I remember very well when in the match against Chernomorets Boyko out of the blue, when Sitalo stepped on the opponent’s foot in the fight, he immediately showed Artem a red card "
“I think that in the future, if Sergey Boyko will serve the matches of Alexandria, we will see this hostility to the team and to me personally more than once. Yes, I’m very unpleasant that I will miss the next two matches in the championship. I was hoping for one, but, my fault is only that I did not hold back emotions against this referee. As for Yuri Pankiv, it’s good that he will miss only one game, because he could have missed two. The committee said that there was a dangerous game from the goalkeeper. Although it was clear that Yuri did not hit the player. Yes, there was a tackle, but Pankiv played ball "
Alexandrians have six matches planned for the current calendar year - 4 in the UPL, 2 in the Europa League.
" There were good loads during training days.. We had one friendly match - a more educational game for mixed teams with understudies. The weather let us down a bit: it got much colder and there are minor problems with the quality of football fields, as they freeze a little. And so, in principle, everything is fine, getting ready. The mood is not bad, club president Sergey Kuzmenko supports us. In this regard, we are preparing, everything is fine. And two days later we fly to Lviv to play with Wolfsburg. Then matches against Desna and Vorskla. The games are also not easy, but the main thing is that all our players are in the cage, to rack their brains on whom to put in the main team.
I think we're moving in the right direction. "
The upcoming match of the team will be held today, November 23. This fight will be central in the 15th round of the UPL. At the stadium Nick Alexandria will meet with Zorya, beginning at 14:00. On football. ua will be available online text translation of the match.
