SC Poltava coach Igor Timchenko commented on his team’s defeat in the UPL match against Kudrivka (0:2).
“The first half - I won’t say what it was like a combination game, but even for the patients it was better, but the field made its own adjustments, here it was more of a power football. The advantage was in our hands, we didn’t convert our chances. So, there weren’t a lot of them, but they could have been squeezed. There were a lot of standards, they didn’t know the ball.
In the other half, perhaps, before the missed ball, our advantage would have been ours, as it happened to me. And after the ball was missed on the right place, there was, naturally, a psychological advantage on Kudrivka’s side. It’s our fault.
I can’t say that our team physically fails the other half. The reason is different - in wrong decisions, in our mastery and unfinished episodes. We didn’t finish one episode and they scored on us. We didn’t realize our chances.
Winnie absolutely ourselves, it’s just a shock, it’s imperative that we make it easier for us to fight for survival. Well, it’s okay, we’ll keep playing until the rest of the tour, we won’t give up. I respect that we ourselves are at fault in this regard: kill other people’s gates, don’t let yours pass... Like forever, our mastery will not be lost.
Well, maybe, I won’t blame myself either. With substitutions, I may not have guessed, because after the triple substitution in our team, in my opinion, our team began to lose worse. If you wanted gravel that would replace it, you could just add it, but it would end up in vain. I don’t understand such a concept;.
Either you are a footballer or you are not a footballer. I'm not saying that our people are not football players - I'm just saying that we're all equal people.. You come out - you go, but you are ready to plunder from the first second. I repeat: with substitutions I didn’t guess. I didn’t deserve three substitutions - I told them in dispensation. In this regard, I don’t take any blame for myself,” quote Timchenko UPL TB.
