The team from Rivne rose to 14th place in the standings
Acting head coach Veresa Oleg Shandruk commented on the important victory over Minaj (3:1) in the 27th round Ukrainian Premier League.
“This victory is very important for us. We understood that this was one of the key matches of the season. A successful result today left us with more chances for a positive result in the fight for a place in the UPL. Of course, we are happy about this victory. Therefore, I congratulate the club’s management, players and fans.”
“A quick missed goal? We started very well and by the fifth minute we could have even scored. The missed goal was a shock for us. But the guys are great. They immediately got to work and began to correct the situation. Thanks to them for this.”
“During the break there was a feeling that we could put the squeeze on the opponent. In the first half, we realized that we had an advantage. We just didn’t miss our chances.”
“We didn’t start the second half very well. It was an equal game for about ten minutes, there were moments in Minai. As for the break, we always exchange opinions. In the defense phase, in the attack phase. Sports director Yuri Gabovda always joins this discussion.”
“We have an even team. And I always say this. In the first spring tours there was one core. Now another one. Because the struggle for survival is stressful. Not all players can handle this well. Plus, the matches with Dynamo and Rukh gave us food for thought. We thought a lot and chose certain qualities that were important in the game against Minaya.”
“I think everything is fine with Nikolai Gaiduchik. He did great, he fought in every episode. Marko Mrvaljevic has already trained in the general group. We are gradually letting him in. Denis Yanakov was also used in pre-game training. We hope that in the game with Zorya we can count on all the players.”
Veres rose to 14th place (zone of transition matches) in the UPL, one point ahead of Metalist 1925. In the next round, Shandruk’s team will play against Zarya on May 13.
