Zorya Luhansk head coach Viktor Skrypnyk on the victory over SC Poltava:
-"It's great to score a goal in this heat on the first chance. My guys didn't stop, they wanted to score more. And so it happened. We set up to play carefully from the first minutes, because in previous matches we had problems with this. I am grateful to the team for concentrating, fighting and playing for victory in such a hot weather. We had chances to score more, but it is difficult to play against all teams in the UPL now. Everyone wants to prove themselves. "Poltava also ran forward, so they can also be complimented.
- Did you see the kind of football you want to play at Zorya today?
- I like it when we play vertically. It doesn't always work out. If everything works out on the board and then in the game, then we are doing something right.
Before that, we had a lot of chances in the matches. We didn't score on empty, and we didn't score one-on-one. So today we were very serious. I am grateful to the team. We want to keep progressing.
- What are the reasons for the substitutions, because after the leaders were replaced, your game changed somewhat not for the better?
- I wanted to give the players who come on as substitutes a chance. They also need to get in shape, game tone and game mood through games.
A couple of them missed a month and a half. Michin is the brain of the team. So we decided to save them a little bit. Now there will be a long break. We plan to play a control match. We want to see the other players of our team.
