- What can I say? An emotional match, a lot of struggle, weather conditions, match delay. Somewhere it influenced. The team "Vorskla" is an experienced team, they surpassed us in skill. Somewhere our guys lacked skill. But in terms of dedication, in character, in intensity the guys are not inferior.
- Did this delay of several hours affect the game? What can we do about it?
- Of course, we were preparing for a different time. But these things do not depend on us, we have to get out of the situation. Yes, it was hard to sit and wait. It is tiring. Here we need to show character and take internal reserves.
- I can`t ask about the situation at the end of the match. Was there a foul on Krasnopyr?
- He won the position, there was a push and of course he couldn`t move further by inertia. There were a lot of such tough moments, but the referee did not whistle to either side. But this moment decided the fate of the match, so it's a shame. A good referee is the one that nobody sees on the pitch.
