"We understand everything... Hopefully, we will gain good form at the expense of matches in the championship," - Zorya defender

Luhansk Zorya defender Arseniy Batagov has commented on his team's poor start to the new season. Recall, the Luhansk team in the Ukrainian championship first lost to Lviv "Rukh" (1:2), and then - to Kryvorizhzh "Kryvbas" (1:3).

"Of course, we wanted to beat Kryvbas. We needed to rehabilitate ourselves after the defeat in Lviv. This time a lot was decided by the second goal we conceded, as well as the red card of Ilya Gulko. Then it was very difficult to expect a victory.

It turned out as it turned out. We will improve our game. Both in Lviv and in Kyiv, we outplayed our opponent in the first half, but in the second half, we start to have something strange on the football field. Perhaps, physically we are not quite ready.

Very soon we have a start in the Europa League. We understand everything. I hope we will gain a good form at the expense of matches in the Ukrainian championship. We will try to show good football in the European Cup," SportArena quoted Batagov as saying.
