Alexander Nazarenko - after 0:3 from AEK: "Football is an unfair thing..."

Dnipro-1 midfielder Oleksandr Nazarenko commented on the defeat of his team by the Cypriot AEK (0:3) in the second leg of the playoff round of the Europa League qualification held yesterday. Recall that on the sum of two meetings (1:2, 0:3), the Dnipro team dropped out of the tournament and will now continue to fight in the group stage of the Conference League.

“The game was tough, but I think we created a lot of chances. However, football is an unfair thing: everything flies to us, but we cannot score. There is only one conclusion here: you need to play more concentrated and prepare for the next matches.

Now we need to move away from this game psychologically as quickly as possible, especially since we remain in European competitions, because we have a very important game ahead of us against Dynamo Kyiv (this Sunday, within the framework of the 2nd round of the championship of Ukraine, - ed.). Therefore, starting from Friday, we are already preparing for the duel against the people of Kiev,” Nazarenko said.
