Shakhtar women’s team head coach Roman Zaiev on preparation for the match against Kryvbas, mental condition of the team and staff situation
– The team do a lot of work with the ball. Did you emphasize improvement of interactions on the field?
– It is only about interactions. We repeat more practices to be used in the game closer to the match. Now we were working on these very aspects.
– How did win over Ladomyr reflected on the team’s mood?
– I want to give credit to our players, because they relaxed psychologically and approach the next match more confidently after such tough, but successful game.
– Shakhtar took the lead three times in the match against Ladomyr. How important are such victories psychologically?
– Maybe we did not expect such a difficult match, but precisely these encounters temper you and make it possible to feel the game spirit and desire to win. Sometimes it is through the pain barrier, but such victories help to grow.
– Kryvbas won the opening matches with total goal difference of 15-0? What mood do you have before the meet?
– We gun for every opponent equally learning them before the game. I want to give credit to Kryvbas management also having ambitions and motivating the team for good game and positive result. But we are Shakhtar and our reputation makes us move forward, so I am waiting for an interesting game.
– Will Yelizaveta Molodiuk and Alina Starukhina manage to recover before the game vs Kryvbas?
– Molodiuk has already left the hospital, but there are some specific moments as for Starukhina, she is not ready for the next game.
– Kryvbas forward Polina Yanchuk, who was playing in your team during the previous season, has already scored 5 goals and is the first in scoring race. Do you how to stop your ex-player?
– I am glad that Polina performs successfully, but I hope it is the game against Shakhtar that will not be so lucky for her. If to speak seriously, we all dispose ourselves accordingly and pay attention not only to Yanchuk, but other opponent players as well.
