The Kharkiv team only scored a point in their last ten matches
Head coach Metalist 1925 Victor Skripnik commented on another defeat of his team, which it suffered from Zari (1:2) in the match of the 22nd round UPL.
“What did the team lack today? Scoring goals is very simple. I told the team that I was not ashamed of this defeat, we played with a very powerful team on equal terms. We also see the individual skill of football players on the football field. But the dedication, the structure of the game, the attitude towards the matter were at the level.”
“Everyone is upset that we didn’t get what we expected. As for the game, a draw would have been a fairer outcome. Unfortunately, that’s how football is. We can only prepare for the next matches.”
“You know the statistics, you can see the problems [в защите]. I say again that we are also trying to fight this, we are working. However, the game shows that we have problems. We have no right to give up. We still have matches where we can save ourselves, we need to wait for the victory, which we have been waiting for for a very long time.”
After this match, Metalist 1925 remained in 15th position with 16 points. The Kharkov team’s winless streak already totals 10 matches (1 draw, 9 losses).
In the next round, Skrypnyk’s team will meet Kolos on April 7.
