Jan Jurcec: We were not satisfied with the recent results, so we want to fix the situation

Croatian defender of Kryvyi Rih Kryvbas Jan Jurcec shared his thoughts on the eve of the away match of the 12th round of the UPL against Lviv Karpaty.

- Jan, the team has a long trip to Lviv ahead of them. Are they mentally and physically ready for this challenge?

- Yes, we really have a long road to Lviv, but the most important thing is to take this match seriously. The recent results did not satisfy us, so we want to fix the situation. I think the team is ready both physically and mentally. I am sure that this will be a good match for us.

- What do you expect from this match? What, in your opinion, will be key in the confrontation with Lviv?

- Karpaty have always been a competitive team in Ukraine. Perhaps at the start of the championship they did not show the desired results, but the last few matches have proven that they are still a strong team with high-quality, technical players. We need to be ready for this and play as focused as possible.

- Karpaty will play at home. How do you plan to neutralize their strengths?

- This week we worked well in training, fulfilled all the requirements of the coaching staff. I think we prepared well for the game and will be able to show it on the field. Everyone is already looking forward to the match.

- You have already played a lot of matches this season. What game or moment would you call the most important for you personally?

- I am very grateful to the coach for his trust: for giving me the opportunity to play in all matches, regardless of the number of minutes. This is important for me, because it shows that I work well both in training and in official games. Overall, I am satisfied with my performances, but every week I try to become better - both physically and technically.

I can highlight two matches in which I did not score, but made two assists: against Zorya and against Epiсentr. I think it was in these games that I managed to show my best sides - both up front and in defense. I want to help the team even more and I will work on that.
