Oleksandriya coach Maksym Bilyi commented on the draw in the first leg of the UPL relegation playoff match against Livyi Bereh (1:1).
According to the coach, his team controlled the game well during the first half and created scoring opportunities. However, the hot weather and the team's psychological state hindered their performance. Bilyi noted that the team tends to lose confidence immediately after conceding a goal.
What is disappointing is the echo of last season. We concede a goal – some insecurity sets in, everyone hangs their heads. Maksym Bilyi
The coach mentioned that a pause in the match helped to shake up the players, but mental and physical fatigue remains a significant challenge. Bilyi insisted that the players must prove they belong in the Premier League, emphasizing that the team will analyze their mistakes ahead of the next meeting.
