We trained, worked, in such cases there is no other way: only work, listen to the head coach and win the next matches. Today, we managed to take advantage of the chances we created at Oleksandriya's goal, and that's why we won. In general, I think this championship is very interesting for the fans. Everyone loses points. There is no such thing as a one-goal game, where one team always just fights back and plays 0-0. Now it's interesting to play against everyone. The championship has levelled up. I think it's interesting for the fans to watch this kind of football.
We are not counting points yet, we have a task to win every game, because we have left the Ukrainian Cup, we have left the European Cups, we understand that there are no other tournaments. And there will be no more "excuses" if we don't win the championship. Then we'll have to shut up and listen to the criticism that people will pour on us. I think everyone saw that today on the football field there was a desire not to give in to anyone," Yarmolenko said in a commentary to the PROFUTBOL Digital Youtube channel.
