Patrick van Leeuwen: We managed to surprise many experts this season

The head coach of Kryvyi Rih Kryvbas Patrick van Leeuwen commented on the away match of the 30th round of the UPL against FC Oleksandria - 1:1.

- What are your impressions of today's match?

- I'm happy that the team gave a lot of energy today, and we created a lot of chances. The opponent also created a lot of chances, but I'm pleased that my players performed well on the field. I'm also happy that many of our players who had no practice in the UPL took the field today.

- Mendoza left the team, and Kamensky came out today as a left midfielder. How would you assess his actions?

- We're trying different players for this position, as you saw during this match. Kamensky and Parako played sometimes, and Bodnar also tried, Sek can also act in this position. We're trying different options.

- Summing up this championship: you found yourself in very difficult conditions during the season, but Kryvbas finished at the top of the standings. How would you rate this season for the team?

- I am happy with how the team worked during this season. I think we surprised a lot of football people, experts. We approached the first matches of the season in a good mood. Yes, the first game against Kolos was very difficult. But after that we started to regularly score points. And also in the winter, when the players left, new players came, and we continued to take our points.
