Head coach of Epicenter Serhiy Nagornyak commented on his team's victory in the UPL match against Kudrivka (3:0).
"Really, I want to win every game by 3:0, but it doesn't always work out that way. I'm satisfied with the game. The only thing is, there were a couple of moments in the second half when we started to bring those free kicks a little, brought the game closer to our goal. We completely controlled the course of the match. We told the guys that the most important thing would be the phase of transition from defense to attack - so we scored two goals, just brilliant passes by Kozak, and Sydun's execution. That, what we emphasized, we did, the control of the ball was there. I am satisfied with the quality of the game we had.
Three assists from Kozak? The Cossack still has to work and work. I told him after the last game with Veres that he played well, and then I put on the invisibility cap. I tell him: "So that I don't see this hat again." He is well done. He has it, it is only necessary that he does not stop, we believe in him.
Cifuentes helped us a lot in the last championship in the first rounds. But after one story, I don't want to say which one, I realized that there are no irreplaceable people. It was not a spontaneous decision to sell - it was the desire of the player and the desire of the club. Yes, he really helped, but that's why we took Nene and Rojas was bought so that we had competition. Yes, we are looking for more people, not sure what we will find, because the deadlines are pressing. And young footballers are appearing who, I think, will gradually make their way to the first team - this process is the most important thing for me.
We knew that the wrong Sidun was at the meeting - there were objective reasons for this. But, it seems, even yesterday at the pre-game training I asked him: "Are you alive yet?". He says, "Yes." Well, you see: he came to life - he scored two, well done. Believe me, I had absolutely no doubts about him. His desire is to make some mistakes in the first half. You know, when you fight and the rebound is in your direction, then you deserve it. I always think so. Somewhere he was a little unlucky, but here he was lucky. He absolutely deserved a double. Well done, he is our asset. I am satisfied with the whole team. You know that I usually don't like to give compliments, but today really for the quality of the game we showed, they deserve these compliments - although not very much, but let them be happy," UPL TV quoted Nagornyak as saying.
