Natalia Zinchenko: "We managed to play as we planned"
Comment from the head coach of the women's football club "Metalist 1925" Natalia Zinchenko after the match of the 14th round of the first stage of the Premier League against "Kolos", which ended with a confident victory of the Kharkiv team with a score of 5-0:
— At the start of the match, the team faced difficulties. What were the challenges?
— We expected the opponent to defend deep. They had a tough game against "Vorskla", which took a lot of energy. With the first and quick second goals, it became easier for us as "Kolos" had to push higher.
— The girls scored three goals in three minutes. What was the key factor for such explosive performance?
— After conceding the first goal, the "Kolos" players seemed to lose concentration somewhere, allowing us to score two more goals quickly. After that, they were not as active, already thinking about the next match in Odesa.
— How do you assess the opponent's game today?
— We had time to watch the match against "Vorskla", which we prepared for. We expected them to focus on quick attacks. It was important to concentrate on our actions to attack as planned. We succeeded in that. Thanks to our players! Getting ready for the next one!
