Head coach of Obolon Valeriy Ivashchenko commented on the defeat of his team from Rovno "Veres" (0:3) in yesterday's away match of the 23rd round of the Ukrainian championship.
Valery Ivashchenko"It is always unpleasant to concede a quick goal. Of course, it affected the course of the game. We created moments today, tried to play aggressively. But the field was somewhat slippery, the players were sliding. In the episode with a penalty our player also slipped. But this is football. A quick goal is not the end. You can always get back.
But we conceded for the second time. This goal was not counted, but psychologically it shook the team a bit. And we conceded again. Morally it was very hard to play further.
At halftime we tried to make adjustments to the game. It was important to score quickly. We had chances. But again we were let down by realisation.
We knew that this match would be difficult, we tuned in. But today was not our day. We conceded goals after our own childish mistakes. Of course, we want to go higher in the standings. But we depend on the results," the official website of Veres quoted Ivashchenko as saying.
