“This is not the first time this has happened during the season. We had several good opportunities to catch up with our opponents. I must note that this is no longer a coincidence — it is a tendency. Indeed, it is disappointing.

Right now I could talk about our game, about how we had good style and showed good gameplay today, but that doesn’t make sense now. We have to face the truth and admit that this season we cannot fight for the championship. Maybe now our focus is shifting to second place. But specifically right now, considering the mentioned tendency — we are not ready to fight for the title,” — said Pusych.
