"Not enough experience for such competitions," - Valeriy Kryventsov about Zorya's 1:3 against Maccabi

Head coach of Luhansk Zorya Valeriy Kriventsov summarised the results of his team's match against Israeli Maccabi Tel Aviv (1-3) in the 4th round of the group stage of the Conference League, which took place yesterday in Lublin.

"For the spectators the game was interesting because both teams attacked. There were a large number of goal-scoring chances where one team, Maccabi, scored and we didn't.

We have a very young squad, so we don't have enough experience to play in such competitions. But the guys were good, they showed that they can play bravely and didn't give up. Even losing 0:3 they found strength, created chances. They scored a goal, which was cancelled by the VAR system. We scored again, there were more chances. The team gave their best on the pitch, which they are capable of at the moment.

We know our shortcomings. A lot of goals are scored from the area of our centre-backs. Every day we work on correcting these mistakes, but unfortunately they are repeated," said Kriventsov at the post-match press conference.
