Kryvbas play very well on the counter, the team also have a good level of ball control, but we have already analysed these points with our coaches
Ivan Losenko, midfielder:

– Kryvbas play very well on the counter, the team also have a good level of ball control, but we have already analysed these points with our coaches. It is important to score first, then there will be more chances to develop success. I scored in the previous game against these opponents, so I would like to do it again.
