Head coach of Kazakhstan "Elimaya" Andrey Karpovich at a press conference after the defeat from "Kairat" (1:4) in the 16th round of the championship of Kazakhstan spoke about the Ukrainian newcomer to his team, goalkeeper Maxim Koval, who this meeting spent in reserve.
"We see the physical condition of Koval, so he did not come out. It is difficult for him to give the training process. He needs time. Only for these reasons we did not take a risk. Before that we played two matches "on zero", there were no claims to Kavlinov. Unfortunately, all people make mistakes. Such mistakes cost a lot," said Karpovich.
Recall, 31-year-old Koval joined Elimai in the last days of July, signing a contract for 2.5 years.
