Former Ukrainian national team player Volodymyr Mykytyn commented on the elimination of Ukrainian club Kryvbas from European competitions.
- Unfortunately, the Kryvyi Rih team failed to slam the door on the way out. Although the guests played in a fighting lineup, while Sevilla gave their leaders a rest before Sunday's La Liga match with the giants Real Madrid. However, even this did not help Kryvbas fight the Spanish club, which used a burst of activity at the end of the first half to bring the game to a close. Moreover, due to collective mistakes in defense, the guests could have conceded two more goals in those minutes.
The Kryvyi Rih team was very diligent, but at key moments they always lacked something: the last pass, a well-aimed shot, a safety net in the back. In a word: skill.
Of course, now it is important that after this series of failures in European competitions, Kryvbas players do not find themselves in a psychological "pit". After all, on September 1, they will play in the UPL championship against Shakhtar. In addition, it should be borne in mind that the road from Seville to Kryvyi Rih is long, and there will be very little time for recovery," said Mykytyn.
