Kostyantyn Frolov: We gained experience in the game with the top club in Europe
Comments after the debut match of Kryvyi Rih FC "Kryvbas" in the semifinals of the first qualifying round of the Champions League against "Paris" - 0:4.
Konstantin Frolov, v. at. main coach of ZFK "Kryvbas»:
- As we expected, the game turned out to be difficult for us. We understood what kind of opponent was waiting for us and, in principle, we saw that we were playing with a TOP club. I want to thank our girls for their dedication, for their struggle, they did not give in to their opponents, and the goals they conceded are the consequences of our positional mistakes in defense. At this level, the opponent does not forgive these moments, in general, we gained experience in a game with a TOP team. We have one more game ahead of us, so we will prepare to achieve a positive result for ourselves and the team in the final match
Anna Stekolshchikova, midfielder of ZFK Kryvbas:
- Today we played a very difficult game. We understood that this is our debut in the Champions League. The girls, playing from the first minutes, acted very selflessly, understanding the opponent's level. We knew that it would be a very difficult game, but the girls showed that everything is possible and even, if you saw, they had several moments in the first minutes. Quite dangerous. If they had scored, it would have been a completely different story.
But for now, a debut in the Champions League is a great result for us. There are a few days, we will prepare for the next opponent. We understand that this is very important for us and for all fans from Ukraine. Because we, first of all, are the ones who show the strength of the Ukrainian people. And our performances on the international arena are all thanks to the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Ukraine will win.
Diana Belyakova, forward of ZFK "Kryvbas":
- Today we played our first match in the Champions League, it was our first experience, and it didn't seem very successful. But we will draw conclusions and move on. We have another important game ahead of us, we have to show good football and a positive result.
