Volodymyr Makhankov: This game is a great experience for our young team

Goalkeeper of Kryvyi Rih Kryvbas Volodymyr Makhankov shared his thoughts after the first friendly match at the winter training camp in Spain 2026 against the Danish Midtjylland - 0:3.

- Volodymyr, how was the first match for Kryvbas in the new year?

- An interesting match with a very serious opponent. Midtjylland is successfully playing in the Europa League and is one of the leaders of its championship. For our young team, the match against them is a great experience. In the first half, we showed a pretty good game, continued to play our football after the break, but we have an unsatisfactory result. This is training, we are working and will improve every day.

- The team played against the background of loads. Was it felt today?

- The loads are felt. And, I think, it was not easy for the guys to play more than one half. Yes, it was physically difficult in some places, but this is just the beginning of training. The goal of this stage of training is to get into optimal shape.
