Defender of the Dawn on the end of the season
Bohdan Butko, right-back of Luhansk Zorya, was one of the most useful players of his team in the home game against Veres. After the final whistle, he answered the questions of the journalist of our publication.
– Bogdan, it was the hardest game for Zarya in the spring. What do you associate it with?
– When the opponent closes at his gate, it becomes difficult for us to play.
– Although you were the first to score in this game…
— Yes, although we created a lot of chances. We do not score a lot and create problems for ourselves.
Is Veres an uncomfortable opponent for Zarya?
– The guests played their usual football, we need to watch our game. In every match we create a lot of chances. Sometimes we score, and sometimes we don’t.
– After the removal, did the opponent have any relaxation?
– No, we understood that they would close at their gates even more. It was hard to open the defense.
– Why didn’t you manage to increase your advantage in the second half after Imerekov’s goal?
– It happened, inaccurate strikes and at the end of the match it was very difficult. We stopped playing the ball. Maybe they wanted to keep the winning result. We must play to the end.
– Do you know that Zorya set a record for home games without defeat? Now it is 19 games.
– I know. We need to continue the series on Monday, in the match against Metalist 1925.
— In addition to Zorya, the leaders – Shakhtar and Dnipro-1 also won this round. So far, nothing has changed in the standings. Need to wait for face-to-face fights?
– Maybe. Everyone understands the cost of a mistake. Whoever loses points will be left out.
