Natalia Zinchenko: "We can say that now we travel, play, and recover more than we train"

Afterword of the mentor of the WFC "Kharkiv" Natalia Zinchenko after the end of the 7th round match of the Prime League against "Shakhtar" (4:0):

- I think everyone still remembers the match with "Shakhtar" at the end of last season, which ended in a draw. Against this background, we were tuned to switch on from the first minutes. Created many opportunities, satisfied with today's game. The girls react well to these trips, to the games in the European Cup. We are currently spending a lot of time recovering. It can be said that we are playing more now than training. Everyone played all 90 minutes with maximum dedication.

- How difficult is it to switch to championship matches after Eurocups?

- Now we travel, play, and recover. There is practically no training process. One or two training sessions - and immediately a game. We give the girls more time to rest. Now we will prepare for "Kolos". It is very important to go through this stage without injuries because we are playing in the Eurocups for the first time for so long. We have to combine like this. But, of course, it is very pleasant and adds to the mood.

- Recently, the draw for the 2nd qualifying round of the European Cup took place. We will play against the Portuguese "Torreense". What can you say about the next opponent?

- We will have to deal with "Kolos" first. A very cool opponent. We love such playing teams. They have foreign players from Spain, Venezuela, and other countries. We play for this, to advance and meet such opponents. We took such a draw result very seriously. We will prepare and try to play our football. I hope everything will be fine.
