Kudrivka head coach Vasil Baranov commented on his team’s defeat in the UPL match against Zhytomyr Poliss (0:2).

“We played with a team that is at the top of the tournament table, claims to European Cups and is looking to compete with our giants: Dynamo and Shakhtar. We are not yet mentally prepared for this. We harnessed its power - both behind the warehouse and behind the battlefield. The only thing that could be resisted was the fighter’s bones and a strong defense. They asked the boys not to cuddle up to the gate, but the supernik was annoying us in the process.

In the first place we were lost mentally. In the first 20–30 Khvylins, the team didn’t understand who they were and who they were playing against. They were afraid to go into battle, they gave plenty of space. The goals were conceded from the very moments that were sorted out before the game. Navіt did not catch up with the Poliss graves in order to simply commit a foul. At the end of the second half, when the score became 0:2, they began to play more mercifully, and ran to play. Ale is so necessary for life from the first days. We will continue to work.

I won’t say that in the first game we had a lot of moments. And today there were moments - for example, when Gusev shot to the far post, but did not close anyone. What difference does it make: the Polissians try to realize their chances, but we don’t. In the first game we were more feared and actually defended by tens. Today they asked not to cuddle, but this is a new nourishment for the mentality. The opponent has a significantly stronger strength and competes on such an equal level, calling to the team. We will continue to continue.

The team is ill? I'll be approaching the sixth quarter of the week, and this hour may be to our detriment. For us, the skin is drawn to the gold, especially if the bases fall out.

Storchous, Kozak – not yet in optimal condition, they only had two training sessions. Owusu and Glushchenko were hit at once. And there are other guys who denied a chance today. For them, the ability to show themselves and show that they are ready to compete. We suspect that during this pause everything will change and the virus will deprive our team,” Baranov’s press service said to the club.
