Antoni Mascaro: We need to work even more rather than look for guilty in failure
Comments after the match of the 5th round of the youthful ChU UPL 2025 \ 2026 Kryvbas U-19 - Polissya U-19 - 0:4.
Antoni Mascaro, coach Kryvbas U-19:
- The opponent was better than us. They started the match better, and after the score 2:0 it became difficult for us to play our football. There were two or three opportunities to make 1:2 score, but because of the mistake we missed the third goal. To catch up after 0:3 is very difficult. Congratulations on the opponent, they played very well and deservedly won.
I do not think that it was finished because we didn't have many moments. In other days, they created more. The opponent won almost all individual martial arts. They acted faster, with greater rhythm and intensity. All our players should start competing better and understand that it will be very difficult to win with such intensity. We are still in the process of improvement.
Shpylka debut? Makyim went out on the field at 0:3 - a difficult moment, not the best for his debut. We tried to play with two attackers, but the team in this structure did not play well. He posted full. In general, the team did not show the desired level. This is definitely not his fault. I'm glad he got the first minutes. Wishing him all the best and, sure he will still show himself.
I didn't speak a lot after a match in the locker room. I think that the way back after three defeats is to better train, disassemble and correct mistakes. Do not complain, do not look for guilty. It is necessary to change the mentality and not stop in the fight even in difficult moments. I'm sure good times will come. We are in the process.
Maxim Shpylka, FC striker Kryvbas U-19:
- The game failed. The first 10 minutes were catastrophic for us. It is necessary to make mistakes and draw conclusions. There was not enough concentration. Not everyone has played as they needed. We deserved this result, because we did not work as it should. The coaching staff will support us and everything will be well in the future.
