Midfielder Zari – about the match with Minaj in the 20th round of the UPL
Attacking midfielder of Lugansk Zorya Denis Antyukh commented on the progress of the victorious match against Minaya (2:0) in the 20th round of the Ukrainian championship.
— Denis, in recent years everyone has become accustomed to seeing Zarya at the top of the standings. But in the first part of the season, everything was bad for Zarya, if we talk about the result. Only in the spring did you begin to improve your position in the table. Due to what?
— All teams have white and black stripes. Last year we took third place, delighting our fans with a good result and performance. A lot has changed in the summer. Many guys left our club, there was a change in head coach. All this, of course, affected our results. This is football life, it happens. Now our task is to reverse this situation. We need to gain points and move up in the standings.
— How did your two newcomers, Basic and Junior Reis, fit into the team?
— They are just getting used to our team. All the football players help them get comfortable in Zarya. If they feel comfortable in the team, then they will be able to contribute to our team.
– Can you remember your goal?
— There was a struggle in the center of the field, we won the rebound and were able to quickly attack until the guests reorganized.
— When the score was 1:0, did it become easier for you to play?
— It’s easier, we had a lot of opportunities to win with a score of 3:0 before the break, that’s the minimum. But we didn’t take our chances. It was more difficult to play emotionally in the second half. It was only when we scored the second goal that it became easier for us.
— In the 57th minute of the match, the match referee sent off the player Minai Semotyuk, who hit you in the leg. However, after watching the video of this episode, referee Bondarenko showed the visiting player a warning. How would you rate this episode?
— It’s difficult to immediately give an assessment while on the field. I haven’t seen the video yet. There was a foul, the attack was disrupted. The referee analyzed everything.
— Do you expect Guerrero to score goals?
– Let’s hope he scores against Dynamo.
