Zorya Luhansk head coach Viktor Skrypnyk on the game against Shakhtar Donetsk:
-This game is the team's reaction after the match against Dynamo. Today we played forward and equalized. In addition, we created chances. We understood the level of the opponent, we also realized that we are not perfect. But in my opinion, we deserved more in this match.
As for the penalty kick... The opponent's player drew it, and the referee was happy to find this moment. As for me, in the penalty area, this is already contact football. Traore "drew" it, it's his "job", so to speak. And the referee's job is to understand the episode. The player fell down before the contact.
In such a match, we did not deserve to lose like that, after such a "ridiculous penalty."
-Today was your 100th game in charge of Zorya in the UPL. What was this period like for you and what is it like now?
-This is my second cadence. I love this club. Those who work with me see that I do everything from the heart and with professionalism. I also see that the guys want to play, there are no indifferent people. Not everything is always perfect in terms of the result, but when the team is working properly, I come to training and am happy to coach this particular club. I am proud to coach these guys.
Of course, I always want to be better, I don't like the place where we are now, but there is potential, we need to work and progress further.
