“Lviv has given me a lot of love in 6 years. I can’t lose here “

SC coach “Dnepr-1” Igor Jovichevich In the post-match press conference, he commented on the victory over PFC Lviv (3: 1):

– I am happy, I am proud of the actions and the character of the team. We proved it against an uncomfortable opponent who wanted to get the first victory. This made them dangerous. But I think we deservedly won, we controlled the ball and the space, we had rallies that were planned during the preparation of the match. I want to thank the players for their responsibility.

These three points are very important, because it is easy to tune into Dynamo or Shakhtar. And fights like those of today demonstrate the character of the team. And this is very important for the period that awaits us. I hope we improve with each game. We’ve only been building a team for a month and there’s still a lot of work to do. Congratulations to the guys for putting in the right efforts in today’s game. You now have two days to recover and better prepare for the game against the Dynamo.

– You are known for your work in Karpaty, when there was a fierce derby with Lvov. Did you customize your current equipment in any special way?

– No. The opponent deserves respect. We lead 2: 1, but each of your standards could be helpful. If they tied, who knows what it would have been like. But in terms of moments, ball control, we deservedly won. And the third goal resolved all doubts. We are satisfied with the score and I can praise the guys not only for the game, but for the training they put in with intense disinterest. In training, they try to look like a match and play each match like the one before it. You have to keep it that way and you have to be mentally stable, going from game to game. We haven’t won anything yet. There are many tours ahead. Therefore, they must be psychologically strong and powerful, responsible for their work and prepare for the next opponent with the utmost respect and concentration.

– What were your first emotions after returning to Lviv? Maybe you’ve already met someone you know?

– You know, somehow I thought I couldn’t lose here. Lviv has given me a lot of love in 6 years, many friends, unforgettable memories, I will always be in debt.
