Oleg SHANDRUK: “We have only one striker left now”

Head coach of “Veres” Oleg Shandruk commented on the match of the tenth round of the Ukrainian Premier League, in which his wards drew with Zorya:

“We understand that we played in the minority of the half and, in principle, we are more satisfied with the draw than disappointed. The team gave everything on the field today. These are my inner feelings.

An elimination episode? We lost the rebound. Here it is important to conduct an analysis in order to more clearly answer the question. But, in my opinion, we lost the tackle, there was a quick attack and Serhiy Korniychuk probably overslept the opponent’s run-in and already fouled.

Why was Giorgi Kutsia removed from the game after being sent off? It was necessary to stabilize the defense line. Both flank defenders were needed. And Zorya is a fairly large team, physically strong. Therefore, preference was given to the taller Vitaly Boyko, who went down to Ihor Kharatin. With such an idea, they made a replacement.

Yes, we only have one striker left now. In general, we are satisfied with Taranukha. Because he started playing with us practically from the wheels.

And, you see, he immediately understood in which club and for which emblem he plays. There are no questions at all. I would give him a plus four on a five-point scale. Because if he scored another goal, and he had a very good moment in the last game, then I would be even more than satisfied.

Did the weather affect the game? Yes, of course. Rain means more fighting. And everything affects the game. Certain decisions of arbitrators also have an impact. Fans can influence the game, why not?

As for the injured players, we expect Maksym Smiyan and Roman Goncharenko to start working in the general group. How physically ready they will be for the match with “Epicenter” – only the training process will show.

And as for Serhiy Korniychuk’s withdrawal, he did not play against Oleksandria because he was recovering from the national team. There are other players – let them go out and prove that they are ready to play and progress for this team. Today, young local boys Maksym Yakhontov and Vladyslav Saichyshyn were in the application. They show themselves well. Are they ready to play in the UPL match? Well, it probably takes some time.”
