– Sergey Nikolaevich, above all, wants to hear your sparring assessment against Alexandria.
– What we lost, I do not take into account. I remained very satisfied with the content of the game. The more games with such rivals, the faster we will progress. “Alexandria” is part of the top 3 teams of the Ukrainian Championship, and the opponent showed us what the intensity in the premiere. At the beginning of the match, we were wrong because we could not withstand such intensity. Then, when they set up, they leveled the game. They could lose 2: 0, but could also draw. But the result is not the main thing. He pleases that the boys have withstood this exam, it is a load.
– If you look at the third stage of preparation, what did it seem for the team?
– This gathering was the longest, I saw that it is moral to the boys. But they stood and saw what else to work on. And very pleased with the last two sparings in which we played with the Premier League teams.
– And this despite the fact that these two matches “Epicenter” lost?
– Yes, we gave way. But I’m happy with these matches. We see what else we need to work on.
– Work on mistakes will happen at the final stage of preparation?
– We gave the team a few days of the weekend and we are going on the basis of March 24 on Monday on March 24 at Dunaivtsi, where we will start a new stage. We still have sparring with Agrobusiness ahead of March 28, after which we will already prepare for the match against Yux. So, little, so to speak, we enter the championship.
– Experiments with a composition already behind?
– We have an understanding who can play in the first official match of 2025, but the final decision is too early. There is still sparring with Agrobusiness, in which we will still try different options. After all, we still have one attacker who misses the match from Yux. And Ivan Demidenko is still healing the injury. So we will still think about how to solve this problem. We have time, there is also time.
