Yaroslav Shevchenko: After the first half there was a conversation, there were a lot of emotions

Midfielder of Kryvyi Rih Kryvbas Yaroslav Shevchenko – about the home match against SC Poltava - 2:2 in the 11th round of the UPL.

- Yaroslav, today you started in the starting lineup. Do you feel the trust of Patrick van Leeuwen?

- Yes, of course, I feel the support, the trust of Patrick van Leeuwen and the entire coaching staff. I am very grateful for this opportunity.

- A difficult start to the match, a nervous game until the last seconds. What was the atmosphere on the field?

- The atmosphere was the same as in the stands: a tense game. I think we should have “closed” this match, won and taken three points, but we did not realize our advantageous moments.

- What task did the Mister set for you?

- “Close” the center of the field and do everything so that the opposing team could not freely control the ball in this part of the field.

- How hard was it to gather ourselves after conceding a goal at the beginning of the match?

- This is football, we sometimes concede, sometimes score. We conceded, raised our heads and went to fight back.

- In the second half, the team took to the field in a different mood - fighting. What did the coach say at halftime?

- There was a conversation, there were a lot of emotions. All the guys understood the coach and went out on the field with maximum dedication. I want to say thank you to all the fans who come to our matches, who watch them on TV - this is very important for us, for the Kryvbas Club. In the future, we invite everyone to the stadium and to watch near the TV screens.
