Metalist 1925 closes the standings of the Ukrainian Championship
Head coach Metalist 1925 Victor Skripnik summed up the match with Chernomorets (0:3) in the 28th round Ukrainian Championship. The Kharkov team conceded three goals in the minority.
“This red card was very painful for us. After that the game opened up. We hoped to play tightly in defense and look for our chances up front, on set pieces. But what happened happened. We still have two home games left, we’ll hang on. Everything is against us, but I hope there are still chances. We are now counting on how our opponents will play; everything does not depend on us. There are two home games where we have to pick up points to hope for a favorable result.”
“Red card? I would be surprised if the referee showed a yellow card. We can say that everything is on point.”
“Let’s wait for these two games. I say again that we will cling to the last, there are still chances, but not everything depends on us. We have to score points. We are now in last position, what depends on us is to win. We will win, I hope, there will be chances, if we don’t win, we will stay there.”
Metalist 1925 closes the standings of the Ukrainian Championship. The gap between the Kharkiv team and Veres, who are in the play-off zone, is one point, but the red-blacks have a game in hand. In the next round on May 19, Skrypnik’s team will play against Polesie.
