Zorya Luhansk coach Mladen Bartulovic on the away draw against LNZ:
-"The first half was ours. We pressed well, did well with the ball. We had opportunities to score. We also played against the wind, which was very strong today. So it was not easy.
We didn't expect the second half to start like this. We had a plan to put pressure on LNZ. We conceded an unnecessary goal from the set piece again. It's good that we got back into the game.
We could have won the game or lost it in the end. The result is most likely natural.
-At the end of the match, your team was a bit tired. Is it a matter of motivation or physical condition?
-We have a difficult personnel situation. Juninho, Dryshlyuk and Horbach missed the game because of too many cards. If we had a little more choice, we would have been able to add more freshness. LNZ also didn't have many chances and it was difficult for them as well as for us.
-Are you satisfied with the performance of the wing attackers?
-Antyukh has a slight knee injury, so he did not play from the first minutes. There are injured, there are disqualified. But I am satisfied with the way all the players acted. They pressed well. Of course, I want even more from them. I want them to attack, create goal-scoring situations and be more dangerous for the opponent.
-What tournament tasks will your team solve in the last rounds?
-We will face serious opponents. Three very interesting games. These are Shakhtar, Polissya and Karpaty. We will tune in to win every game. And give everyone a chance to prove themselves.
-Are you satisfied with the actions of your newcomers?
-We are satisfied with Popara's performance. Bila Tserkva started well, but he got injured and dropped out of the starting lineup. We expected a little more from Vakula and Korablin.
