Kharkov head coach Mladen Bartulovich commented on his team’s victory in the UPL match against Lugansk Zorya (3:0).
" Very emotional and stressful, because you need to think about football, but you think more about worries, “martyrs” and our enemy. Very important. I want to thank the boys for maintaining concentration and control in such a difficult situation. After a skin break, we went out onto the field and indulged ourselves. We deservedly won. This team showed good football. I chant that she was able to give us joy.
I told the boys that this is a very important match. I think matches like this are key, because they show where we are going. There was great versatility in this match. The boys understood this situation well and learned from their important rival. Zorya is a very good team, and they showed this in the last match against Polissyam. It was more important for us today, and even more important yesterday. The most important thing for us is that we prevailed and got three points.
I would like to see the whole team, because everyone worked for the result and played well. Baton performed very well in the remaining two years and deserved to enter the field. Viyshov is true. Well done, you are guilty of continuing to practice like this.
What happens in relaxing teams, when you sit for a year, then sit for another year, warm up, anxiety returns? This is so important. This is such a proof. I think Mourinho and any other coach have never done this. I don't even know what the recipe is here. It is really important to emotionally treat the boys. Especially after another pause.
After the break they came out, five songs played - and then there was another pause.. We went into the dressing room, took a nap, but there were no more emotions. Perhaps, and it’s good that we didn’t finish playing yesterday, because emotionally everything was already empty. Alas for our team work and for those that happened yesterday,” to quote the words of Bartulovich UPL TB.
