Vantukh: I can't say that the game was successful, because from the first minutes we were not ourselves

Lviv Carpathian defender Roman Vantukh commented on the draw in the UPL match against Veres (1:1). "I can't say that the game was successful, because from the first minutes we weren't us. Because we showed in the first games how much character this team has, how aggressive this team is, speed. Today we didn't show it, and it was from the first minutes. The red card didn't affect it in any way. And the way the match developed, 1:0 in our favor. Yes, of course, it's a shame that we lost the victory again, just like with Left Bank, something very similar. It's a pity. Veres created many moments. Once again, it was a bad game from my team, because first of all, we should be more aggressive in the other half of the field, and we let them down. They felt very comfortable, as if we were playing in Rivne and not in Lviv. And this is our mistake, so we have to work on it, that's all. I think that two trips to Kovalivka are not easy, because we played there, returned to Lviv and after two or three days left again. Moreover, the games with Colossus were not easy, they drank a lot of blood. Today there was less energy, probably. If I were to judge for myself, I was probably a little fresher in the previous games, but I wasn't so tired that I couldn't do my job. I don't know what it is connected with. I mean the game of our team from the side of aggression, from the side of pressing - in this component we played poorly today. There was no underestimation, because we were preparing for several days, the coaching staff emphasized and informed us that this will probably be the most difficult game of all the last ones. That's how it turned out, you see. There was no underestimation for sure. We wanted to play this game as seriously as possible. Unfortunately, it turned out the way it did," UPL TV quoted Vantukh as saying. A video review of the match between Karpaty and Veres is available on media.
