“Not losing in seven matches in a row is a positive moment. As for the game, it’s hard to say who was closer to victory. Indeed, we had our moments, and so did the Carpathians. Both teams scored at least a goal today. But it’s a zero draw.
Yes, Kostas Stamoulis was supposed to start today. At the last moment before the start of the game, he was replaced by Mykhailo Protasevich. The reason is the difficult departure to Kryvyi Rih. A very difficult field and a very difficult road. Kostas simply did not recover. This is not damage. He had spasms on the back surface of the thigh of both legs. He felt discomfort and we decided not to risk his health in this game.
Regarding substitutions at the end of the game. Oleksiy Sych played very actively on his flank, Vesli Pomba was no longer able to cope in defensive actions. Therefore, we replaced him with Serhii Korniychuk. Accordingly, more emphasis was placed on defensive work, they understood that this is a nominal defender, and that we lose somewhere in attacking actions. But a decision had to be made, and the decision was just that. Dmytro Godya replaced Eren Aydin and performed well. He drew certain conclusions from his past, because young men do not always choose the right path. Now he is more of a team player. And it pleases. I hope he continues to progress. Today Dmytro Godya is quite high quality. He is an attacking player, we mostly defended in those minutes, but he worked hard. Well done, played tactically competently.
Denys Ndukwe also returned to the field today after a serious injury. I am sincerely glad that he is already with us. They wanted to give him more minutes, but in reality he still has some risks regarding recovery. It takes a little more time, but he is already training in the general group. They let him feel the rhythm and tempo of the game today. His motivation is crazy. If he hadn’t been shocked, perhaps there would have been an effective action.
There was a great atmosphere at the game today. Fans from Lviv came to support their team. Although, we still had more support. We felt it. I want to thank the fans because it was the final home game of the year. I am sure that we will feel this support in the next away matches: in Zhytomyr and Kyiv,” the club’s press service quotes Shandruk as saying.
