"No coach will say that he is satisfied with everything. Especially in our case: the place in the standings does not suit either me or the guys or the management. On the one hand, there is a certain objective reality: we are newcomers, our composition has drastically changed in the summer, in general there are many nuances in the existence of any team. On the other hand, the task for the season - to be in the six - remains, but we are only eighth so far ", - the UPL official website quotes.

"Any mentor proceeds from the fact that he has, that is, the personnel. From here comes the choice of tactics.. For example, in the away duel in Mariupol we played openly, created a lot of chances and got no points.. Do you understand? We must always proceed from the strategic resource and personnel selection.. Here's an example: besides the fact that we are debutants, we have one of the youngest teams of the championship and, it seems, the least experienced - in terms of the number of players with experience in playing the UPL ".

"Let's remember Chelsea's first cadenza, Jose Mourinho, and how rarely this team created scoring chances, how to effectively implement them, gaining high results. I do not agree with the fact that we “squeeze the maximum out of the minimum”: we remember our matches with Mariupol, with Vorskla, as we did not realize then. But even in a meeting with Dynamo, not all moments turned into hammered goals.. Although, of course, we pay great attention to this during training. ".

"Any work involves complexity. There are coaches who are embarrassed to go to someone's assistant.. I probably wouldn't have gone to anyone either.. But I always agreed to work with Leonid Kuchuk without hesitation: he is a great professional and a person who constantly works and studies, although he knows a lot about football. I generally think that mentors who are sure, they say, know everything, are mistaken. This is in my opinion. I repeat, for any work difficult ".
