Head coach of Odessa "Chernomorets" Alexander Babich commented on the defeat of his team from Zhitomir "Polesya" (1:4) in yesterday's match of the 5th round of the Ukrainian championship.
"A lot of gifts we made "Polesya" at the beginning of the match. And, of course, it affected the further course of the game. A little crazy actions were on the part of our players. But I thanked the guys for the second half.
Of course, "Polesie" sets slightly different goals than us, but even with such a team we could have played if we had acted more reliably and confidently from the beginning of the match. Not self-confident, but confident. And those actions, when we were with the ball, led to the fact that we conceded three quick goals. I can not say that we had a passing yard in defense, but these goals we conceded primarily because of our childish mistakes. I believe that giving such a team such a big head start is suicide," Babich said on the air of YouTube channel UPL.TV.
