The head coach of the Veres football club, Oleg Shandruk, expressed his thoughts on the team's preparation after the match of the 2nd round of the UPL against FC Poltava (0:1), which took place in Kropyvnytskyi. He noted that the team needs to work harder on the implementation of tactics and improving the physical condition of the players.
Shandruk emphasized that it is necessary to focus on training and improve the execution of game tasks. "We are again playing in such an unfavorable time of year, in the heat. The intensity of the game in the execution of both teams was low, as the footballers cannot maintain a high tempo in the heat," he said.
The coach also mentioned that even in conditions of high temperatures, players cannot ensure the necessary productivity, which affects the team's results. "These are living people who cannot constantly maintain a high tempo when the temperature exceeds 30 degrees," he added.
In the upcoming week, Veres will play against Shakhtar, which adds additional pressure on the team, and the coach hopes that the players will be able to prepare for this match accordingly.
