Yehor Tverdokhlib: I would not like to say that the missed goal is a mistake of the goalkeeper

Midfielder of Kryvyi Rih "Kryvbas" Yehor Tverdokhlib - about the away match of the 12th round of the UPL against Lviv "Karpat" - 0:1 on UPL TV.

- Ehor, why didn't you get points?

- For the second match in a row, we enter the game uncertainly and "turn on" too late. Unfortunately, in the last two matches, the fate of the match was actually decided already in the first minutes. We need to start from the first seconds, not swing during the half. We will work on this and strive to demonstrate quality play from the very start in the next matches.

- What else has not worked?

- We are focusing on actively starting the game from the first minutes. Why this has not worked out yet is difficult to say, but we are looking for answers.

- What was the conversation about at halftime?

- At halftime, we discussed that the first 15 minutes of the second half would be key, and that we should not allow the opponent to score. But, unfortunately, again at the beginning of the second half we conceded a goal. After that, it was difficult to fight back, although we were waiting for our moment, and we had it in the last minutes, we just were not lucky enough to realize it.

- Did Kryvbas concede an embarrassing goal?

- I wouldn't like to say that a conceded goal is a goalkeeper's mistake. Such episodes happen. We sat a little deeper, so the opponent got space and time to hit. I'm sure the coaching staff will analyze this game and point out our mistakes. We'll move on.

- Was it harder to play in the minority?

- We played in the minority, and it always requires great physical effort. In addition, Karpaty know how to possess the ball well, so it was not easy. Unfortunately, we failed to realize our chances, although we fought until the end.
