After the game, the head coach of the team, Yury Maksymov, noted that the Vorskla players will train, go to every game and play to win.

Considering that the “green and white” are on the 12th line (13 points) in the immediate vicinity of the relegation zone, Maksimov’s wards need to take points now to protect themselves from getting into an unpleasant situation. And a good opportunity for this could be a victory over LNZ, which the Poltava club has never beaten.

And after the extreme defeat in the Ukrainian Premier League against the “brewers”, information began to appear in the media that LNZ could be headed by another coach instead of Carrasco. Such names as Grigorchuk, Lyubenovych, Kucher and Bartulovych appeared, but then the management of LNZ assured that this information was a fabrication, and the Cherkasy club continued to trust the Spanish coach.

Therefore, after these things, Carrasco said to his wards, it is necessary to beat “Vorskla” in order to justify the trust of the management of the club.
