Bartulovich: Everything that was in Polissya flew

Kharkiv head coach Mladen Bartulovich commented on his team's defeat in the UPL match against Zhytomyr Polissia (1:3). "First of all, I congratulate the opponent on the victory. Today they had everything they had. They used all their moments and even half-moments. The first goal, you can say, is a half-moment. The cross went, and it broke our plan for the game and the whole game in general. I can tell now that we dominated, we had more of the ball, but the score is 1:3. This match should be a lesson for us, from which we have to draw conclusions and move on. This is only the second round and there are still many matches to come. Regarding the first goal, we focused the attention of the boys on the fact that Polissya had a lot of passes, especially Veletny from the right foot, but here he worked from the left. It was a moment not to be missed. But we concede and it broke the flow of the game and the plan for the match, as I said. The second goal happened after a set-piece, then a situation where we were played three-on-two and scored another goal. Of course, then it's very difficult to play against a qualified team," the press service of the club quotes Bartulovich as saying. A video review of the match between Polissia and Kharkiv is available on media.
