“The chances were to score more than one goal. There were a lot of powerful crosses for their implementation both in the first half and in the second. We now have a completely different team line-up, even when compared to last season. I am satisfied with the aspirations and results that my team is now showing.

The team has not participated in official matches for a long time, so we are more than satisfied with the final result. We also had mistakes, we can’t do without them, so in a week we will properly prepare the team for the second leg.

Football players of Zorya already know how I think about football. In terms of tactics, ideas, scheme, I have differences with the former coach of the team, but the guys quickly got used to the new one. They try every day to give all their strength during training to their own and club accomplishments. We had a lot of both tactical and practical exercises on the eve of today's fight. Even one goal scored against the opponent and a victory is already a positive result, but we know that we can score more.

The absence of Gladkyy in the application for this match? He trains with the team, but we decided to give him more time to prepare. Let's see how the situation develops over time," van Leeuwen said at the post-match press conference.
