Dulub named the main problem of Kharkiv in the match against Polissya

The famous Ukrainian coach Oleg Dulub shared his impressions of the second round match of the UPL, in which "Polissya" defeated "Kharkiv" with a score of 3:1.

According to the expert, despite the final score, it is difficult to call this match equal - the Zhytomyr team controlled the course of events on the field for most of the game.

"I disagree with the opinion that the match turned out to be equal. In my opinion, the match was completely dominated by 'Polissya'. The 'Wolves' controlled the game entirely and only at 3:0 did they slightly give the initiative to Mladen Bartulovich's team. It was very interesting to watch Ruslan Rotan's team: how they control the ball, how they build attacks," Dulub noted.

Separately, the coach drew attention to the choice of the starting lineup of the Kharkiv team. In particular, he was surprised by the absence of Peter Itodo from the first minutes.

"I didn't understand why Itodo didn't start in the main lineup of FC 'Kharkiv' for this match. He scored 10 goals last season, and Bartulovich puts Parako in the starting lineup," he said.

Also, Dulub critically assessed the contribution of the Kharkiv team's foreign players, drawing a parallel with Shakhtar Donetsk.

"FC 'Kharkiv' is somewhat similar to 'Shakhtar': Ukrainians 'carry the piano', while foreigners try to play it. So far, it's not working out. Ukrainians play their role, but the foreigners don't," the expert summed up.
