It's not the first defeat for the guys, they need to fight against it, and that's what we're aiming for. We want to show our best football and the best attitude to our work.
We expect the guys to draw the right conclusions. However, you can say whatever you want. Only the game will show everything. I hope that we are on the right track and are working for it. We have nowhere to retreat, we want to look only at ourselves. We are concentrating on those moments where we slipped or played poorly against Minaj.
The LNZ coach knows the UPL, he has worked here for many years. They have experienced players. The same Oliynyk, for him there are no secrets in football, which was shown in the game against Polissia, because he was where he needed to be, scored a goal. I hope this will not happen in the match against us. I'll say it again: LNZ is a good team, but we have to look at ourselves and we will concentrate only on ourselves," Skrypnyk said in a comment to Metalist 1925's official website.
