Antoni Mascaro: We will move forward, even though we are not succeeding in everything right now

Comments after the match of the 18th round of the UPL 2025\2026 "Kryvbas" U-19 - "Zorya" U-19 0:1.

Antoni Mascaro, head coach of FC "Kryvbas" U-19:

- We started very well, as always. We had opportunities to score. In the first half we played better than the opponent. But, I think that right now we have players who are not ready to compete at this level. So we have to help them so that they can achieve their goal. We will move on, although now we are not doing everything right.

- The team demonstrated quite intense football. How satisfied are you with how the players performed the game setup?

- Yes, in the first half they played well. In the second half they looked not so confident. I think that we lacked the right mood and sufficient intensity. I am satisfied with how the guys played only in the first half. Of course, we are upset that we did not score, but I am very, very angry and worried about such behavior and play in the second half, because I think this is the wrong way. So we will work to change it. 

Tymur Nianchur, defender of FC Kryvbas U-19:

- A difficult match. We started well. We constantly pressured the opponent. In the first 10 minutes we created at least three great chances to score, but, unfortunately, in football there is such a thing as if you do not score - they score for you. That is how it turned out at the beginning of the second half of the game. They punished us for low implementation. We need to work further to improve this component.
