The head coach of Mariupol shared his expectations from the upcoming fight.

As part of the seventh round of the Ukrainian Premier League, Mariupol will hold a guest duel against Kovalevsky Kolos, on the eve of which the head coach of “Priazovtsy” Ostap Markevich commented on the readiness of his team to get the first victory in the new season.

" There will be a very serious fight, because there is simply no other way in the current conditions..

In general, I have no reason to say that we are missing something.. Probably enough already to blame fate. The team is all right, we are preparing and, I am sure, we must improve our game and results.. Let's see how it goes in practice.

The main thing for us now is to return to our style.. If we do this, we will be able to score points and climb the standings.. We are working hard on this.

On Wednesday, five players from the youth team returned to us, and it was not so convenient to work with the reduced squad. Drambev and Vyunnik also arrived on Thursday. We would like everyone to take part in the training process and work out the necessary aspects of the game.

However, I cannot complain that my players are playing for our country.. This is the national team of Ukraine! They are obliged to protect the honor of our country, therefore this moment is important for them and for us..

For a two-week break, we pulled up the guys in physics a little, and our infirmary had already practically lowered. The latter is a very encouraging fact.. Trauma? Chobotenko was seriously injured in Kropyvnytskyi, so we wish him a speedy recovery. Plus, Ocheretko still has a little discomfort, so his participation in the match is questionable, "

Recall that the Kolos - Mariupol match will take place on September 12, beginning at 17:00 Kiev time.
