The author of the winning goal at the Obolon goal commented on the match’s tips.
Dnipro-1 forward Oleksandr Filipov commented on his team’s victory in the UPL match against Obolon (1:0), in which he scored a single goal.
“It’s a good idea to score the best goals from now on, except those that the team showed character today. They stood on the defensive, and even the fighting skills came to the fore, which were shown throughout the entire match, and in which moments were created, especially in the first half. I guess the big men deservedly won.
With Minai, the team had more chances, but the game ended in a draw? It’s important to say which match is easier. With Minai, there were not too many moments during the transition to defense, as a result of which they allowed the opponent to create a lot of chances without power.. Today we endured. They knew how Obolon would work - scout for free zones behind the backs of our defenders, so we gave the initiative a little and looked for moments for pressing and tried to cover them up.
If the field is in such a position, although it is the same for both teams, and we prefer to play with the ball and create chances through control, it has been important to work all these days, especially through the center. You yourself tried to crush the ball, and through one unmanual pass you can immediately turn off a counterattack on your goal. That’s why we were told not to take risks and act pragmatically.
My replacement? There was an emergency replacement and so it was a coaching decision. There was a need for refreshment in the front line. I think that Daniel has done well in his duties, even in the area and chasing balls. He saved the ball for the team, and then the boys went to create chances.
The game is already on Friday, and then on Tuesday, so it turns out that there are three matches in 9 days. And as you know, our clip is not very large, and we have a lot of young applicants. We are all waiting for the return of injured players.
It’s our fault that we can have more fighting units.
At the naked moment I was just standing in my place. The food from Kutovoy has arrived, and Edik has neatly consumed it. I had a little luck, but without it football has no place. You can say what the head’s instinct was doing - drinking at the right time in the right place,” Filippov’s press service said to the club.
