Comments after the match of the 1st round of the UPL Youth League "Chornomorets" U-19 - "Kryvbas" U-19 - 0:5.
Oleksiy Prilepov, senior coach of FC Kryvbas U-19:
- There were two different halves. In the first we scored three goals and after that we relaxed a bit. In the second half, they could have scored more, but they did not use their opportunities. I would like the guys to understand when you score - you have to take control of the game so you don't waste a lot of energy later. As for the rookie game, there was excitement. I talked to them so that they understand that the first game in the youth championship is not DUFL. There is still work to be done. I would like the boys to go to the upcoming matches with more confidence.
Yaroslav Shevchenko, midfielder of FC Kryvbas U-19:
- First of all, I want to thank the Armed Forces of Ukraine. They protect us at the front, and we have the opportunity to play football here and give them joy. Many thanks to them for this. After the game: it was very hot. At the beginning of the match, there is a lot of struggle, because it is the first game. The coach gave us instructions and said that we need to lower the ball down and make a result. We accomplished this task and won this match.
Chornomorets has a new team. The boys are young, but I believe that the score depends on the game. Svyatoslav Matyash gave me my first scored goal. The second - came up to the standard and scored a goal. I am very happy to be the captain of such a team. This is very important to me.
Timur Butenko, midfielder of FC Kryvbas U-19:
- The match was difficult. The weather was a little surprising, it was very hot. We controlled the game, it was not easy, but we won. As for the goal, Svyatoslav Matyash gave me a pass, I cleared one of the defenders and shot into the corner of the goal. Chornomorets is a good team, but we are stronger at the moment.
