We are always determined to fight, but miracles do not happen in football in the sense that we knew it would be difficult to play at 13, on Wednesday many players played 120 minutes. After Kovalivka, I said that it was very important to restore the players. The guys were adjusting, but you can't deceive physiology. There are moments that... We are not robots.
What conclusions did you draw after the match for yourself and the team? We need to analyze it. I thank the guys, because I told them that there are no miracles. We know that physiology cannot be deceived, so it is difficult to recover after such a short period of time. The guys got up at 6 am, the game was at 1 pm. These are living people, and you need to take strength from somewhere at such moments. I thanked the guys, told them not to give up, everything happens," Ivashchenko was quoted as saying by Obolon's official website.
