former defender “Ufa” Yuri Zhuravlev now playing for Torpedo, told RB Sport that the team flew out of the RPL because they relaxed in the first play-off.
Last season of the Russian Championship, Ufa failed to defeat Orenburg in two play-offs for the right to play in the RPL WORLD and were relegated to MELBET First League. In the first game on the road, the Ufa team led the game with the score 2-0, but in the end it ended in a draw.
– Maybe there is a small funding factor in the club’s problems. But it was all up to us. We were unlucky: we conceded a goal in the 95th minute. Such a combination of circumstances. Somewhere, God punished us for not winning the first game, but drawing 2-2, leading by two goals in the encounter. Apparently they relaxed. I tried to forget that moment,” Zhuravlev said.
On Sunday, Ufa lost to Akhmat 1-2 in the home match of the FONBET Cup ¼ finals of the Way of the Regions of Russia. On the same day, in the away match of the Country Regions Path Cup quarter-finals, Torpedo lost to Akron Togliatti with a score of 0:2 and flew out of the tournament.
