Goalkeeper Veresa – about the match against Zorya and the tasks of the team
Rivne Veres goalkeeper Bogdan Kogut during the first half entered the field of the Dynamo stadium named after Valery Lobanovsky, when the referee of the meeting Viktor Kopievsky removed Vadim Yushchishin for a foul of the last hope. After the end of the meeting, the 35-year-old keeper spent a few minutes at the Sport Arena.
– Bogdan, it is clear that for Veres it was a difficult game against Zorya, and there was a removal. What happened at the opening of the meeting?
— We knew that Zorya would attack a lot in this match. I think that the Luhansk team is now one of the best teams in the UPL in terms of the game. Did the removal break our plans? All the same, my partners tried and acted to the maximum. We wanted to earn at least one point in Kyiv.
– Remember the moment with the removal of Yushchishin?
– Our two defenders did not understand each other. The ball bounced off to Rusin, who went one on one with our goalkeeper. Whether Yushchishin played with his hand, outside the penalty area, I could not see from the bench. It is difficult to play 11 on 11 with such a Zorya, and even more so to remain in the minority.
– At the beginning of the second half, Imerekov scored a goal against Veres, and right there, Zorya could have scored twice more. What happened at that moment to Veres?
– Yes, there was such a segment. Let’s take a look and figure it out.
– Bogdan only after an hour-long pause due to air raids Veres was able to transfer the game to the gates of Lugansk…
– During the pause, we were in the locker room, someone listened to music, someone rested. It’s difficult. Everyone reads the news, everyone knows what’s going on. Then they warmed up and played out the end of the meeting.
– Only in the last round Veres won at home for the first time. Did this meeting give the team a breath of fresh air?
– Certainly. It was difficult without victories at home. And although no one escalated the situation, all my partners understood the price of playing with FC Lviv.
– We look at the standings and understand that it will be difficult for Veres at the end of the championship?
– Yes. We have in Ukraine, as in England, the density in the standings rolls over. We have one task – to stay in the Premier League.
– The remaining games for Veres this season will be exclusively home. Is this a plus for the team?
— I don’t know, we play hard at home. We’ll see at the end of the championship. I hope that this will be a plus for our team.
