Sergiy Kovalyets: “For our youth to play Metalist fortunately

The head coach of Kyiv's Obolon-Brovar Serhiy Kovalets once had to become the winner of the Cup of the former Soviet Union, independent Ukraine, as a football player, and in his biography there were defeats in the final matches. So, we can say that he is an experienced cup fighter…

- The fact that Obolon-Brovar in the second preliminary round of the Cup of Ukraine "Metalist 1925" got, in my opinion, a successful draw, - said Sergei Kovalets. - Because for our young football players it is lucky to have the opportunity to demonstrate their skills in such a modern arena as in Kharkiv. After all, "Metalist 1925", although the debutant of the first league championship, but it has a lot of talented performers, so I'm sure it will be interesting.

You know, for Obolon-Brovar every match is a challenge, because in the off-season 13 players left the ranks of "brewers" for various reasons. And, of course, I really want our cup journey to be as long as possible, because my wards really need playing practice. For now, the main thing is to stabilize the squad, try to demonstrate combination football, return the fans to the stands. And only then will we think about raising in the class and conquering cup tops.
