"Unfortunately, we didn't win today, but drew, but I don't see anything wrong with that. We need to move on.

The new head coach came in only three days ago, so there was very little time to play anything, and it was evident in the first half, when it was very difficult for us to move from defence to attack, because the guys have not yet fully understood this game structure.

There were tips from Yuriy Maksymov at half-time, and I think these tips worked. In the second half, we played better, we could have pressed and won the match, but that's okay. We will continue to work. We need time," Pikhalenok said.
