Natalia Zinchenko: "I think the fans enjoyed the game"
Head coach of the women's team "Metalist 1925" Natalia Zinchenko commented on the draw result of today's match against "Kolos" (0-0):
- I think the game was enjoyable for the fans. There were many opportunities for both us and the opponent. Thank you to "Kolos" for such a match! Not many teams play such great football - open and fast-paced. The team is progressing and will continue to improve even more in the future.
As for our game, the first half was more successful for us. Like yesterday with the men's team, we are struggling to score goals. We need to calmly analyze the game and review the moments. Both goalkeepers performed excellently. The girls were a bit tired after playing for the national team. We have five more matches ahead in this championship and the cup final. We will draw conclusions and continue towards our goal.
- Are such matches useful in the context of preparing for European competitions?
- European competitions are still far away, but undoubtedly, such matches are very useful. The more we play at such speeds in the championship, the easier it will be on the European arena. It's hard when we only play on one half of the field. In a match like today, the girls ran a lot. This is a big plus for us, for "Kolos," and for our championship.
