Midfielder Zarya – about the match against Chernomorets and the end of the season
Midfielder Zarya Vyacheslav Churko assessed his team’s performance in the 24th round of the Premier League with Chernomorets (1:0), and also shared his opinion about upcoming matches with Shakhtar.
— Vyacheslav, it seemed that this victory was the easiest for your team in the spring. Do you agree with this opinion?
— In terms of the result, no, but in terms of the game, we created a whole bunch of chances to score against the opponent. But they were unable to implement them. I looked at the statistics – we made 20 shots on Chernomorets’ goal. We are doing a good job in training. In the end we are missing something, we don’t make the right decisions. The main thing is that we create these moments.
— If the score was 2:0, would your life be easier?
– Definitely.
— How do you like Jordan’s performance?
– This is the best game of our central defender this season – he won everything, the guys told him about it in the locker room.
— How do you like the Batagov-Jordan combination?
— There are no questions for them at all about this game. Batagov is also always on the level. Back to zero.
— Why was Bogdan Butko so emotional during the match?
— Bogdan is our captain, he gave the guys advice.
— Now it’s a little easier for you, given the tournament position?
– Yes. In the first round, we couldn’t win at this stadium for a long time, but in the spring everything got better. In the first round we had changes of coaches, not everything went smoothly. It was felt that we had a strong team, but there were no results in the fall. Now we have started to steadily gain points. Let’s see where we are after the 30th round.
— Vyacheslav, two matches in a row with Shakhtar await you.
— We now often play two matches a week, all this is due to missed matches in the first round. We are going through some piece of England in the Ukrainian Championship. Now we will fight with Shakhtar.
— Which of the Miners players do you communicate with?
— With Egor Nazarina, Georgy Sudakov and Sasha Zubkov. But not often. I saw that Alexander was removed in Poltava. However, knowing Zubkov personally, I will say that he did not hit goalkeeper Isenko on purpose.
— Weren’t you surprised by Shakhtar’s difficult victory in Poltava?
“I saw the entire first half of this meeting. Shakhtar always played hard in Poltava.
— Will the Ukrainian Cup final be interesting?
— The Cup final is different. The match will take place on a neutral field. Shakhtar will be the favorite there.
— Will Guerrero be back in action for the Pitmen’s game?
– Must. But you see how Gorbachev has revealed himself.
