Patrick van Leeuwen: After the first half, they explained the boys to play more simply

Coach of Kryvyi Rih Kryvbas Patrick van Leeuwen commented on a home victory in the 4th round of UPL over Kyiv Obolon - 2: 1.

- In the first half, I didn't really like our game in the attack. I think we had to add a little more energy and aggression. But we made adjustments and asked the players to act more simply, faster to control the ball. Initially, we played long -range gears. After the first half, they explained the boys to play more simply. One in one that led to the result. We scored two goals. A good ball after a corner and a penalty.

Led 2-0, but later saw that the team began to lose energy a little, which led to the opponent to create this dangerous moment that led to the goal. The limb came out nervous, but we kept victory and won three Points. I will celebrate a good game from our young football players, they are well.

- Many new young players in the team. Are they satisfied with their progress?

- We now have many young players that we are not trying not to experiment very much because they are still in an indispensable one. Therefore, yes, they need to train even more and reach a more stable level.

- Today the team showed a wonderful game, despite the fact that the match was difficult. Yehor Tverdokhlib made a double. How do you comment on?

- I think we slowly entered the game. In the beginning, it was difficult for our players to adapt to temperature, so it slowed our pace, although we planned to play at a higher pace from the very beginning. In the first half, this did not lead to any moments, but in the second we corrected it, started acting faster and scored goals. The first is after a good angular from Mendoza and a cool end from Yehor. Then there was an attack on the opponent's gate, which ended the penalty through the game of their defender. So, I am happy with the second half, especially the fact that we led 2:0. Less satisfied with what was still missed at the end of the match.

- Kamenskyi played the position of forward again today, although his position is a midfielder. How do you comment on? Do you plan to continue experiments?

- At the moment, Oleksandr plays where we need on the field. He is a smart guy, he can act in different positions, so we use it where needed. Now I do not tie him to the role of a pure midfielder because he can play on the flank and help in the center of the field.

- It seemed that today Kryvbas did not play with such a high line of defense as usual. How do you explain it?

- We tried to control the game more. Sometimes they really climbed high, even too much, especially with the wind on the field. But in general, the boys coped well, and in this we progress. Therefore, I am pleased with how the defenders acted - and when they rose and when they dropped deeper.

- Ahead of the pause in the championship. What are the plans for these two weeks?

- First a few days of rest to restore strength, and after weekend - back to preparation for the next home match.
