The head coach of Luhansk's Zorya, Nenad Lalatovic, blamed the defeat of Kryvbas Kryvyi Rih (1-3) in the second round of the Ukrainian championship on the players.
Nenad Lalatovic (photo: zarya-lugansk.com)- It's hard to say anything after a game like that. Just like with Rukh, we played well in the first half. We earned an unnecessary penalty in our own net before the break. In the second half, we had the same problem as a week ago - we stood far away from the opposition players. We were missing Jordan. The red card was unnecessary again.... Two penalties in our goal. I don't understand my players. How can you hold the opponent at a corner?
It's very important after such a defeat. Some players need to understand that they have to play for Zorya, not for themselves, as if it were a private match," said the coach at the post-match press conference.
