Yesterday, July 24, "Oleksandriya" opened its European cup season with a match against Serbian "Partizan", losing with a score of 0:2. Former midfielder of the "townspeople" Serhiy Starenkyi shared his thoughts on this match.
“In my opinion, "Oleksandriya" lacked experience in the game against "Partizan", — said Starenkyi. — It should not be forgotten that the team was led by a new coach, many new players came in, and it’s just unrealistic to deliver maximum performance right away. However, the Oleksandriya team managed to create opportunities for a goal. And "Partizan" took advantage of their moments.
It’s a pity, but at least Ukrainian team deserved at least one goal. I think it’s not the time to criticize those who lost, as the return match is ahead. Yes, the score is bad, but we will believe in a miracle,” — said Starenkyi.
