Acting head coach of Metalist Kharkiv Peritsa Ognenovich, commenting on the defeat from Vorskla Poltava (2:3) in the 22nd round of the Ukrainian Championship, made it clear that in the next match - with Dynamo Kiev - his team's task will be to take three points.
“I can’t say a single bad word about my team. The guys had a desire, there was dedication, they played good football, but today this was not enough to win.
If we want to take a higher position in the league (Now Metalist occupies the penultimate, 15th place in the standings of the Ukrainian Championship - ed.)we need to score goals. In several matches at the start of the spring part of the season, we did not succeed. Now the team has begun to play better in the attack phase. But to win, you need to play well both in attack and in defense. Now it turns out that we play better in front, but in the defense phase we don’t play the way we should be.
Anyway, this game is already over and we are looking at the next match. We really need a victory and three points, ”Ognenovich quotes Metalist's official website.
Let us add that the match of the 23rd round of the Ukrainian Championship Metalist - Dynamo will take place next Friday, April 28, in Uzhgorod at the Avangard stadium.
