Post-match press conference of the Olimpik Donetsk head coach Yurii Kalytvyntsev
- I liked the dedication and patience of our team. It should be noted that the players didn’t feat the defeat, they feared not winning it. Despite the fact that we were opposing the leaders, the guys appeared with their heads held high. After the match, they entered the dressing room with their heads high. I thanked them for their play. And, as I always say, I’ll be responsible for the result.
- You’ve been at the club for a short while. Have you managed to blend in the team?
- I’ve fitted in quite easily. After three days, I learnt their names, knowing their surnames. As for the training process, we always want more time. But we’ve got not so much time, we check one another in field conditions. We are looking forward with optimism.
- Have you managed to draw the first conclusions about the players’ strengths?
- I’m not going to mislead you: I haven’t quite. I’ve got my first impressions of the players as people and as athletes. But that’s the first impression, Hopefully, it won’t be deceptive.
