– As for me, the focus was the Kharkiv confrontation at the Left Bank stadium. Metalist players, although not in combat, were closer to victory than fellow countrymen from Metalist 1925. I think that only bad luck prevented the ward of Andrei Anishchenko again to take the mountain in the derby.
– After the final whistle of Metalist 1925, Patrick Van Leuven told that he saw even more problems in Ukrainian football, clarifying that some show began 2: 2.
– Apparently, the Dutch specialist meant the actions of his wards, who often fell in the penalty area? After the next such performance, the patience broke into the defender of Metalist Fyodorov, who asked the referee, why did he not punish the players of Metalist 1925 for simulation? Although, it is recalled, in a recent match with Bukovina, Kharkiv victory was victory, realizing a dubious penalty after a legionary of Rashitsa found himself on the grass.
In general, Van Leuven would focus on the preparation of his team, not to take a bad example from other coaches-lioliors who worked and work in Ukrainian football, who, after another loss of points, began to complain about the condition of the lawn, weather or some other forces.
It seems that the Slobozhans liked to disappoint their fans: at first they were sensationally flew out of the elite, then suffered a fiasco in the transitional tournament, although they were considered favorites, and this season they have serious problems with the return to UPL.
– Have you found an explanation?
– I think it was not without coaching miscalculations. Despite the good selection of performers, Metalist 1925 is a team of pedestrians, and in such circumstances it is very difficult to reach the peaks. Although, given the fairy -tale financial conditions, which is in Metalist 1925 “compared to other clubs of the First League, the Kharkiv citizens of the elite had a easy walk for Kharkiv. By the way, if in the next round of Metalist 1925 he suggests another eye loss in the duel with Bukovina, then no matter how this failure will not be reflected from the owners of the Kharkiv club’s desire to invest in football. Because so far – money for the wind.
– After the 5th round, the owner of the first straight line to the UPL – “Epicenter” was determined. And who do you think it will make a company?
– Taking the opportunity, I will pay tribute to the main coach of Podolian Sergey Nagornyak and his assistants, who purposefully, without forcing events, worked on the creation of a capable team. I hope that the “Epicenter” will make it consider in the elite – of course, with a high -quality complement.
As for the answer to your question, I am inclined to the fact that Metalist 1925 is still finishing the second, although now in each of the three duels left, Kharkiv needs to jump above their heads. And in transitional duels with outsiders of UPL will participate “Poltava” and “Kudrivka”. However, if this week Metalist 1925 will not win in Chernivtsi, while Poltava will take a mountain over the not motivated “epicenter”, then the situation can change dramatically.
By the way, I am not surprised if the couple “Vorskla” – “Metalist 1925” play in the counter matches.
