Dnipro-1 head coach Oleksandr Kucher summed up the results of his team's yesterday's away match against Kolos Kovalivka (3:1) in the 12th round of the Ukrainian Championship.
“It was a very emotional game. The opposing team was very aggressive, there were a lot of fights and fouls. We looked good, controlled the ball, despite the fact that the opponent constantly put pressure on us and looked for our mistakes. But we persevered and won a well-deserved victory.
In the schedule in which we play, I want to first of all thank my players, because they are already playing the third match in the sixth day. I have probably never seen such a calendar before.
But nothing, we will play. Of course, there are injured people and there is a certain residue from the victory, because we lost a football player again. Moreover, we now have every performer on the account. So we will recover and prepare further.
Dovbik's hat-trick? Yes, Artyom is great, but he does not play alone. We have a team and it doesn't matter who exactly scores. You have to win every game. Artem scored - well done! Someone else will score - well done too! The team wins, first of all. If we continue to play with such a mood, if we are on the field as one team, then we will continue to have good chances to win,” Kucher said after the match with Kolos.
