#GIRLSDERBY. Head coach comments.
Yury Ivanavich, how difficult was the game? What are your emotions after final whistle? What do you feel now?
- The game was not easy, and we can say that we made it even more difficult ourselves: to have such an advantage in the first half, to have a huge number of opportunities to score ... and even at the end, when the ball had nowhere to go but to the net (Karyna Alkhovik had a 100% moment). We do not score when we have to, is probably our main problem. This is the second match in a row where we did not realize what we were supposed to. Nevertheless, I think that a draw would be an unfair outcome of the match, the opponent may think differently. Two shots on target - and two goals, and we, having so many chances, could have lost points. But I want to add, that this is why football is so wonderful, and the feelings after the match are only positive. Indeed, they were especially sincere today, because it was a wonderful and spectacular match with a happy ending for our team.
After a missed goal, did you think about how to rebuild the team's game?
- Of course, there were moments where I wanted to rebuild the game, but, let's say, there weren't such players on the bench today who could play in the middle of the field. To release a player just to release, in such a match .. Our girls are young and not every player from the bench can enter such a game - I didn't want to risk. Here are Vika Valiuk and Dasha Stsiazhko - those changes that had to be made to refresh the team's play. Nastassia Shlapakova had a good match, but she earned a yellow card and there was anxiety about the second card in such a tough match, so we made a substitution. Besides, Dasha plays very well on the second floor, it was necessary to add a player to the penalty area at the end of the match.
Nastassia Linnik has a birthday - she makes a double in such a match! The second goal was a direct kick from a corner ... In your opinion, can Nastassia be awarded the MVP for this match?
- Of course, I believe that she fully deserved and proved with her game, making a double and being active throughout the match. She deserves the warmest congratulations... (smiles).
