After the game, the head coach of the “Cossacks” Vasyl Kobin commented on the performance of his wards.

“Conceded goals at the beginning of the second half ended the game for us. Unfortunately, we don’t have the character yet to play against teams of Shakhtar’s caliber and 0-2 down to impose our game and go out from this situation.

After that, the team went astray, the game became out of control, which led to this score. However, we tried to play, and there is nothing to reproach the boys for – they did what they agreed on, but it was not enough.

As I said recently and will repeat now: while I am the head coach of Ingulets, I see this kind of football, and we will play this kind of football – we will act high, aggressively and press with the whole team. Yes, today we paid for it, but today in the UPL there are not many teams of Shakhtar’s level, which are able to easily get out of pressure and create moments. “Shakhtar” pointed out our mistakes, and I think we need to find a balance. If we find him, Ingulets will show good football.

I’m not a little boy and I understand that the team is at the bottom of the tournament table and today they did so. I don’t know how much patience the president will have, and we, the coaches, are ready for any development. But I speak specifically for myself and for the football I see.

We talked a lot with the president about this, he knows my position. It is necessary to understand that the president finances and makes decisions. I am not going to leave my football and my vision.

I am satisfied, because we are working, analyzing and seeing in which direction we are moving. If in the previous matches we had not enough chances and shots on goal, now, if we take the last four matches – with LNZ, Oleksandria, Dynamo and Shakhtar – it is noticeable that we are progressing: we score about 10 shots on goal, of which four in the plane.

However, I will repeat once again, if we take opponents of the level of the Left Bank, then we make 15-20 shots on goal and dictate the conditions. I don’t see anything wrong with conceding goals today. Yes, too much, and the bill is unpleasant. As a coach, it is also unpleasant for me, but the situation is what it is.

However, we will not deviate from our style, play, create chances and score sooner or later. We need to find a balance as soon as possible, and the sooner we find it, the better. In addition, we constantly play on the road, we want to play home matches so that we can spend more time preparing for the opponent.

Palamarchuk? We will only be happy if someone comes for him with a bag of money, because it is no secret that we are not a rich team and probably do not have the opportunity to buy football players. We find free agents and young players, and I want to note that a 19-year-old player made his debut today. We have no other way.

I don’t know how much money the president has, but from what I feel and see, we don’t have much money. If someone offers money for Oleksiy, we will gladly let him go, because he deserved it. He deserved to move to a team that sets more ambitious goals, and we, in turn, will look for another goalkeeper and get out of this situation.

We will also be pleased that we are doing work that leads to the fact that our player becomes interesting for others,” said the Bosnian performer.

In the next round, Ingulets from Petrovsk will visit Vorskla from Poltava.
