Ivan Bahriy: "I am very glad that the coaching staff trusts me"
The forward of FC "Kharkiv" Ivan Bahrii commented on the friendly match against Czech "Hradec Kralove", which ended with a score of 3:3. In this game, the forward scored a goal.
"I am very happy that the coaching staff trusts me. I will give all my strength on the field because it is a great responsibility when the first team coaches rely on you. It is very valuable, and I am grateful to the coaching staff for their trust. Honestly, I haven't fully realized yet that I scored - I think this feeling will come a little later. I want to thank the whole team, the guys are very supportive, and I am grateful to everyone.
At the moment of the goal, I acted as a forward: I shifted to the striker position and did what I had to do. I think I have improved the most in physical qualities - I have become stronger, gained muscle mass, so I can already compete with adult defenders. In the U-19, they are not as powerful, so in this component, I have made serious progress. I believe we are on the right track.
The first team is a completely different level: everyone works with the ball faster, you need to constantly be focused, control the situation around you. We work a lot on physical preparation because in the new season, we have high goals ahead of us, and we must justify the trust of the president and the coaching staff," Ivan said.
