The head coach of Lviv Carpathians, Francisco Fernandes, commented on his team's victory in the UPL match against Cherkasy LNZ (3:0). "First of all, I would like to note that I am glad that we were able to give emotions to our fans in such difficult moments. I am also happy that we gave these emotions to our players who work hard and also to the employees of the club. I note that at the beginning of the game there was a certain nervousness. We need to feel more relaxed, a little faster. The same situation happened as in the previous match. We need to go out on the field more collected. During the match we started to play better. In the second half of the match, we were able to show the game that we want to see. The proof of this is that when you do what you plan, you always get a good result. For now, our goal is to celebrate today's victory and tomorrow to start working hard, as we aim to win the next match. Now our composition is not fully formed. As soon as the composition is finally formed, we can talk about something else. Although we know that in football it is not enough to just talk, we have to prove it. The team showed character last week. It was the first time under my leadership on the bench that the team was able to change the course of the match and win. The team showed character today as well. A testament to this is that when we play bravely, we can win and get something better out of the game. The team definitely has character. However, of course, there is work to be done. We need one or two more strikers. It's good that Bob is scoring goals and will continue to score them. However, the forward is not only about goals, but also about what he gives to the team in attack and when creating chances. We have to sign one striker. Tomorrow, hopefully, there will be an official word on this. However, we need to strengthen a few more positions. After all, in this championship we have seven or eight quite powerful teams and there is a kind of equality between the rivals. Therefore, we all need to make maximum efforts. Bob scored a goal today - that's good news. It is also worth noting the work of our goalkeeper Marchenko. It should be noted that not only our defenders score goals. In the same way, attackers practice in defense. We expected it to be an even game today and there would be a lot of turnovers. As for the possible replacements, we counted on Moha and Felipe to freshen up the midfield. At the moment when the opponent is already tired. My intention is for us to get a win as soon as possible, not to look for a draw. The game plan is always set by the football players and they work to make it work. A conversation with the head coach of the Ukrainian national team Andrea Maldera? I would really like to meet him. As soon as he contacts me, we will immediately agree on the opportunity to drink a cup of coffee. Undoubtedly, this is motivation for football players. But the first motivation for them should be the opportunity to play for the Carpathians. Of course, it will be a pleasure for them to have the opportunity to play for the national team of Ukraine. It will be better not only for them, but for all of us. God grant that our players have the opportunity to play in the national team. However, the main motivation should be performances for the Carpathians," the press service of the club quotes Fernandes as saying. A video review of the match between Karpaty and LNZ is available for viewing on media.
