Vitaly PONOMAREV: “The result is not important, because it’s a collection”

LNZ held its first sparring session at the training camp in Turkey. The UPL leader beat the Czech club “Dukla” with a score of 2:1. Vitaliy Ponomaryov, LNZ coach, commented on his team’s victory.

– To Vitaliy Yuriyovych, I congratulate you on your first victory this year! What can you say about the match?

– The result is not important, because this is a meeting, we have only passed the first week of the meeting. All the guys are under serious loads. Therefore, it is important for us that the boys adhere to certain principles of the game. And for everyone to play this match with maximum intensity for each half. In general, there were both good and bad moments that should be corrected. But at this stage it is not surprising that there were mistakes. They will also be at similar stages, but it will be necessary to correct them and move on.

– In the first and second half, as you said, different teams played, are you satisfied with the performance of the boys in the halves?

– Against the background of fatigue, if you play, you need to include your character, you can’t play as you want. Therefore, there are remarks about certain players, in the next cycle we will pay attention to those points that need to be improved.

– Generally speaking, a week of our training sessions has already passed, are you satisfied with the team’s work in training?

– In general, I am satisfied, because we are doing a very large amount of work now. All the boys are working, all are motivated, because they understand that now there will be even more expectations, even more serious demands on the team in general, on the football players. We played well in the first round, but I can’t say that we played super. Yes, we have the first place in the tournament table, that’s good. But in the second round, this result needs to be confirmed, and it will be much more difficult.
