Zorya Luhansk midfielder Vyacheslav Churko told how his team has changed under each of the coaches who have worked with them this season.
Vyacheslav Churko"When Lalatovic arrived, he didn't know Zorya's players and who played what position. That is, he did not even prepare for the job. This is not a professional approach.
Under Patrick van Leeuwen [last season ], we ran a total of 106 kilometres per match, at least. With Lalatovic - 98 with Vorskla, 99 with Rukh in the first rounds. That is, we fell 8 or 9 kilometres short of our minimum, which gave us third place in the UPL. If each player does not run 700-800 metres per game, there will be no result.
Then there was Kryventsov. It turns out that he did not improve the situation. When Yuriy Koval took over the team, he started with the fact that we are Zorya. "Zorya, which has always had a hard time. But he noted that Zorya has always overcome all difficulties. And nothing should change now.
He started to focus on the team, the team and the fact that we have to fight for each other. For me, his working methods are similar to working under Patrick, it's a recreation of the best elements. In addition, he has started to load up physically. Especially for those who didn't play much, like me, it was very necessary.
If you look at the content of our games with Kryvbas and Rukh, you can see that we realised that we are no worse than these teams, although there is a big difference between us in the standings. Now we have six months to prove to everyone that we should also be at the top," Churko was quoted as saying by the UPL TV telegram channel.
