The head coach of Veres Oleg Shandruk commented on the draw in the UPL match against Epicenter (0:0).
"We need to analyze this match. Because the last game against Dynamo and the limited time to recover after that showed both physically and emotionally. We weren't as fresh as we should have been. Maybe it's our shortcomings somewhere, specifically the coaching staff.
I wanted more aggression from the team. Especially at the start of each half. And here we lost. At the end of the match, yes, they didn't shut down, they looked for counterplay, even carried out positional attacks. Somewhere we didn't have enough time to actually win. Therefore, in general, they endured, but in some episodes I lacked a little freshness. There weren't as many chances as in the game with Dynamo, but they were there and I want the attackers to feel the taste of scored goals. Because we work a lot on it.
As for Valentyn Horokh's saves, a goalkeeper is actually needed for this. If we talk about a good team and the position of the goalkeeper, then we know how important it is. If the goalkeeper was out of work, we would probably solve other problems. That's why Valentyn Gorokh is a great guy, he keeps his level from tour to tour. It is very important that he continues like this," the press service of the Rivne club quotes Shandruk as saying.
