Natalia Zinchenko: "Working without injuries is the most important"

Comments from the head coach and the head coach after the match of the 9th round of the Higher League between ZFK "Metalist 1925" and ZFK "Panthers" (4:0).

Natalia Zinchenko ("Metalist 1925"):

— We scored four goals, three of which were quite quick. This, of course, influenced the fact that the girls played more confidently afterwards, let's say, as the next match is already on Thursday. I want to thank our footballers for today's game.

We created good opportunities, but we need to work on finishing. We achieved the result, got three points. We worked without injuries - that's the most important thing. Now we will recover and I think we will also show our game against Vinnytsia.

We are working on all aspects - both in attack and defense. We manage to score a lot and not concede, which means we are doing everything right. We continue to work and move forward!

Yuriy Derenyuk ("Panthers"):

— I want to thank the Armed Forces of Ukraine for the opportunity to play this match today. We see what times we live in. We played without fear, for which we thank our guys and girls who defend us.

Congratulations to the opponent on the victory! "Metalist 1925" was the favorite - that's understandable. They showed the level we need to strive for. As for our team - the girls gave their all, fought until the last minute. This shows that we are on the right track.

We had several games in a row with all the favorites, and we showed that we can compete, that we are not a team to be underestimated. The results of these matches prove that we have potential. I think after such meetings with the leaders, we will start gaining points.
