Previously, Krivorizky Kryvbas beat Lviv Rukh in the away match of the ninth round of the Ukrainian Premier League.
Rukh - Kryvbas 1:2 Video of goals and review of the UPL match After the completion of the game, the head coach of the Chernovno-Whites, Patrick van Leeuwen, commented on the performance of the powerful team.
" Rukh has a similar style of play to ours: energetic, good pressure and steadily imposing a fight.
In the first half we scored a goal and continued to create chances, but at other times we lacked accuracy in the final phase - both in passes and in shots. There was also food before the organization in defense.
In other times, we were trying to correct things more efficiently, to focus our activities more efficiently, more concentratedly, and more directly.. The result resulted in another goal being scored. At the end of the match, we missed the match, which made the ending quite nerve-wracking, but the boys got together, showed character and brought the game to victory.
I appreciate that today’s team was well prepared before the match. We dissed the game in the distance, scored a goal in the first half and reduced the game advantage over Rukh, who, we were happy with his unsafe opponent. In the other half, we made some adjustments, leaving me not entirely satisfied with the best moments in defense.
So we focused on this - I showed the boys fragments from the first half and said that we needed to realize all our potential, even if we had none. In the other half we were able to score again - this gave the team more excitement and helped them pick up the tempo until the final whistle.
Carlos Paraco is a newcomer who, having arrived from another country, joined the team that also frequently renovated the warehouse. Vin demonstrates steady progress: scoring goals and providing major assists. I am truly pleased with how we are adapting and developing. I suspect that with a skin match there will be even more emphasis on effective actions.
Maxim Zaderaka is also a very valuable person for the team, but also for me especially. The team in the middle knows the specifics of the Ukrainian Premier League well. This helps him to be a leader not only on the field, but also at the crossroads: he is always ready to encourage, give advice to young men, become a butt. I am so glad that we have such a captain, and I am grateful for your contribution to the success of the team.
We had moments that needed to be realized - this would have made the task of the henchmen easier. We are a young team with a young defensive line, so it is important to maximize your chances in attack to avoid such tension. But after conceding a goal, the boys rallied, showed character and brought the game to victory.
Skin match takes its emotional toll. Often additional emotions arise through judicial decisions, until the end you don’t know whether there will be a penalty or a free one. This adds a lot of emotions.
This had more to do with positional imbalances: gravity and inodes did not occupy entirely correct positions, which resulted in imbalance. We talked about it during the break, reviewed the episodes, made adjustments, and in the other half the game in defense looked more favorable.
We realized a few of our chances, which is important. Supernik is also a great chance, but you can’t evaluate the game based on statistics. So, they said that there were 23 shots on our goal, but there weren’t so many unsafe situations, I don’t think that our goalkeeper often made a save in difficult situations.
In addition, we had a moment when, in my opinion, a penalty was awarded at the Rukh goal, but the referee ignored the episode.
We have such small miracle chances in counterattacks, zokrema, Mendoza and Paraco could appear. It is necessary to work on the implementation, but overall I am making progress.
Victory, and more precisely the first place, is the result of a successful systemic robot, which we started in the dark. The athletes really deserve to be in first place, because they train, progress, and grow as a team,” said the Dutch coach.
In the upcoming round, Krivorizky Krivbas will visit Dynamo Kiev.
