Zorya defender Igor Kiryukhantsev commented on his team’s defeat in the UPL seventh round match from Metalist 1925, and also spoke about the differences in the coaching approaches of Nenad Lalatovich and Valery Kriventsov.
“Now, during a two-week break in the championship, we have a new head coach Valery Kriventsov,” the footballer noted. – We only learn the requirements of our mentor, he will learn our capabilities. Valery Sergeevich needs to learn a lot about football players. Grinding in progress. Our mentor wants us to think more on the football field, use different movements on the football field.
— Are there big differences in the training process between the work of Lalatovich and Kriventsov?
– Yes, big ones. We need to develop connections and triangles on the football field. The sooner we understand this, the better it will be.
— In the game with Metalist 1925, Zarya conceded already in the opening. Whose flaw is this?
— We need to analyze it in theory. This is football, anything can happen here. And you shouldn’t speak out of emotion.
– But soon Guerrero evened the score. It seemed that you would put the squeeze on your opponent, but this did not happen. Why?
– Yes, we had our moments. The second and third goals could have been scored. There was a barbell. It happened that way.
— Last season you spent a lot of time recovering from injury. How is your physical condition now?
— I’m gradually gaining my optimal shape, but I’m still far from reaching the maximum. It is also important for me where Valery Kriventsov will use me in the future. Now I play as a full-back, but before I played in a different position.
— This coming Thursday Zarya will start in the group tournament of the Conference League. Ahead is a match with the Belgian Ghent. Is your team expected to start at a prestigious European tournament at a bad time?
— These are European cups. There is another responsibility here. The next game is an important meeting. We will seriously prepare for this match. Let’s see what the opponent, who heads the Belgian Championship standings, will offer us. Valery Kriventsov always sets us up only for victory. We’ll see how the match turns out.
