Poltava "Vorskla" midfielder Artem Chelyadin commented "UPL TV" victory over Shakhtar (2:1) in the 9th round of the Ukrainian championship.
Artem Chelyadin- It is not every time you beat Shakhtar, so the mood is very good, but there is no euphoria. We have already lost a lot of points. So we continue to work and expect to continue getting points.
- Is today a day off or recovery?
- We were given two days off, because we had quite a difficult schedule with three matches a week. We just returned to Poltava in the morning. Now we are recovering and preparing for "Kolos".
- What was the key factor in the victory?
- First of all, character. We implemented our chances and played in an organised manner in defence. We tried not to let Shakhtar create anything, although they did, but luck was on our side.
- Nesterenko had a super moment in the match, when he beat Riznyk one-on-one, but failed to hit the empty net. And the episode started with Stepanenko roughly rolled up under you from behind. Should it be a red card?
- I think, not red. The ball was controversial, 50/50, I was the first to get to the ball, and he wanted to get under me and hit me. But it's definitely not a red.
- Nevertheless, you distinguished yourself with a pre-goal pass in the decisive goal from Nesterenko.
- Good goal. We had a cool combination in the positional attack. You can say, "as the book says" - the edge defender got involved, I gave him a cut, Perduta shot, Nesterenko finished.
