Head coach of Lviv Ruhu Vitaly Ponomariov commented on the draw result in the UPL match against Zhytomyr Poliss (1:1).

" Polissia is a strong team, as they clearly acted in the transfer market and set high goals for themselves. Obviously, I wanted to look at how this match turned out, but I always gave the players a shout out for this whole game. The individual mastery of the Poliss football players allowed the Zhytomyr residents to choose nothing.

We are going to win this match, but everything was in order in defense. Zahisnik, we can’t let our supernik beat us so easily. You need to earn money and crumble away. The championship is complicated, even though all teams spend points, so we are still ahead.

The coaching staff of Poliss analyzed the team of Rukh and Shakhtar, so the Zhytomyr people also wanted to promote us. But for us it didn’t become unsatisfactory. Suddenly, when the score was 1:0, our team began to play with a different number, and this was the same psychological moment. Playfully, the boys wanted to save this shell, although such an installation did not exist. This is also an important message for them.

I am happy to play teams and we do not go against our gaming principles. Of course, the graves allowed for some concessions, but the whole picture was dominated by the coaching staff. Also, in the transitional phases, the team played perhaps not as clearly as they would have liked - they lost the ball a lot. As far as defense is concerned, they play on a good level, since we are among the other teams that have conceded the fewest goals.. We don’t concede too many chances, but we don’t allow our opponents to create a lot of chances..

European clubs regularly play two matches a day, so I don’t want to talk about it for so many hours to update. So, this is not important for us, the footballers played against strong teams, but football is to blame for being prepared for this. We are analyzing today's match and preparing for the match in Zhytomyr. “I respect that it’s not possible to make any changes in that match,” Ponomar’s press service said to the club.
