Yes, Nika are sitting bottom of the table, but this doesn’t make us feel relaxed at all. We psych ourselves up for all games in the same way, but prepare for each opponent individually
Valeriia Olkhovska, defender:
“Before the match, there was a league break, and the team got some rest because physical and mental fatigue had accumulated. Now we’ve got energy and enthusiasm to work. We keep an eye on every opponent and the results in the First League. Yes, Nika are sitting bottom of the table, but this doesn’t make us feel relaxed at all. We psych ourselves up for all games in the same way, but prepare for each opponent individually.”
Opponents
Nika is one of the few experienced teams. The Mykolayiv-based club began performing in professional women's football in 2014, and in 2015 they won their first set of bronze medals in the First League (the best achievement). The team are spending their debut season under the Nika brand. In 6 matches, the opponents suffered 6 defeats, sitting in the 9th spot in the group (0 points, goal difference of 1-44). Their head coach Yana Manchyk counts on young performers, therefore only 4 players on the match list are over 18 years old.
