In the first 20 minutes, we controlled the game. But against Dynamo, you need to play like that for 95 minutes," said the midfie

The midfielder of Zhytomyr Polesie, Alexander Nazarenko, commented on his team’s defeat to Kyiv Dynamo (1:2) in the 13th round of the Ukrainian championship.

"In the first 20 minutes, we controlled the game, but that period of time is too short. With Dynamo, you need to play like that for 95 minutes.

Nevertheless, we didn’t want to depart from our game. The head coach told us that we would play as we always have, even though Dynamo is a top team in our league. But the red card (in the 45th minute of the match, — ed. note) somewhat disrupted our plans, and we had to fall back, otherwise we could have conceded four more goals.

During the break, the coach told us to continue playing as we did in the first half. We needed to endure, to suffer. We suffered one goal, but that’s not enough,” Nazarenko said on the air of the Youtube channel “PROFUTBOL Digital”.
