Zorya Luhansk coach on the defeat in the match against Kryvbas:
-First of all, I congratulate everyone on the holiday. Christ is risen! It's hard to say anything about the game. In my opinion, the first goal when Kryvbas scored was a violation against Jordan and Bashych. They made a block to the players. The VAA referee and the main referee don't see anything. They count the goal. That's fine. Let's move on. 39th minute. The episode has already been played. They come back, they overplayed - a red card. That's it, the game is over.
It was hard to continue. Every second round we have red cards. There were no such cards in the first round, but in the second... Have we really started playing so hard? I don't see it and don't understand it.
It is difficult to solve any problems when every second match there is some kind of refereeing error.
-Given the number of points lost due to such mistakes, your team could easily be in the top five right now
-It started with the first round match against Veres. Then there were other games. It's important to say something.
-What was Zorya's plan for the game?
-To win. To act aggressively in attack. We have fast players up front. We wanted to play more vertically. There are many areas behind us. Before the red card, it was more or less an even match. Even in the second half, at the start, Antyukh had a great chance - they didn't score.
-What do you think about the matches in Kryvyi Rih?
-Today it's good to play without worries. I am always happy to return to Kryvyi Rih, so if there is an opportunity to play here, then we must play.
-What are your goals for the rest of this championship?
-I've already said - you set some goals, but it's hard to solve them when someone interferes.
-Your team showed character in the second half, trying to impose a fight. What did you say to the players at halftime?
-It's not the first time we've played with ten men. At training, we practice how to play in the majority or in the minority. We tried to get back into the game, but Kryvbas is a very skilled team that sets its own goals.
