Luhansk Zorya defender Roman Vantukh, who was unable to take part in the match against Maccabi the day before (1-3) due to injury, commented on the game.
Roman Vantukh- The match left a double impression. On the one hand, I liked the actions of Zorya's players in the other half of the pitch, they attacked with a wide front, combined well, and created goal-scoring chances. On the other hand, I was shocked by the mistakes made by Zorya's defenders.
- Why does the team repeat the same mistakes as in the matches against Slavia?
- In the Czech capital, we were somewhat lucky, because our goalkeeper Turbayevsky caught the courage and the hosts had problems with their aim. Yesterday, it seemed that everything that flew into the goal area was hitting. That's why the defensive flaws were so striking.
- Did you contact your teammates after the match in Lublin?
- Yes, they are very disappointed with the result. Although, in my opinion, we demonstrated a good team performance, there were some individual mistakes that affected the outcome. Therefore, I believe that Zorya deserved a better fate. I'm glad that the guys are in a fighting mood and really want to take revenge on Maccabi on 25 November in the postponed first-round match.
- Will you be able to help Zorya in this match?
- Unfortunately, no. I injured my shoulder joint in the calendar match of the 12th round of the UPL championship against Polissia and plan to return to action in early December and take part in the matches against Rukh and Kryvbas.
