Oleksandr Pikhalenok: "We play four or five hours per match at home. You can't get used to it"

Dnipro-1 midfielder Oleksandr Pikhalenok commented on his team's defeat to Lviv Rukh (0:1) in yesterday's match of the 20th round of the Ukrainian championship.

"We had chances both in the first and second half, but the ball today did not fly into the gate. Somewhere about to score, but it's from an empty goal the ball will be knocked out, or something else.

I had a very good moment, but I did not realise it. It is all a part of football. It happens, but unfortunately, today we lost. The game turned out that way, that we conceded and did not score.

Constant pauses because of air raids? It is impossible to get used to it. During the alarm there is a pause for at least 20-30 minutes, after which we cool down and you go for warm-up again. It turns out that we play at home for four or five hours per match and it is impossible to get used to it," the official website of Dnipro-1 quoted Pikhalenok as saying.
