Minaj defender: "Lubenovic felt that we should train penalty kicks"

One of the best players of the semifinal match of the Tournament of Four for the right to play in the UPL Epicenter - Minaj was Transcarpathian Artur Remenyak. The footballer told what helped his team make it to the final of the mini-tournament - 3:3 (5:3 - on penalties):

"There was open football with a lot of scoring chances, six goals scored in regular time, but there were also a lot of unfortunate mistakes. There are objective reasons for this: at the end of July, the teams are just finishing preparations for the season, and then it turned out quite unexpectedly that they had to play official matches urgently and even for elimination.

We should pay tribute to our manager Zeljko Lubenovic, who seemed to feel that today would not do without a series of post-match penalties, and yesterday after the pre-game training we polished our shots from the 11-meter mark. It paid off: all five of our attempts in the match against Epicenter were successful," Remenyak admitted.
