Kryvyi Rih strengthened their leadership in the UPL
Head coach Krivbassa Yuri Vernidub was pleased with the team’s performance after the victory over Metalist 1925 in the 10th round UPL (3:1).
“We went to this game, realizing that Metalist 1925 was demonstrating very good football. The ball control team ranks high in the UPL. We understood that we needed to play aggressively against this opponent, not give him much time to make decisions, but put more pressure on him. Basically, our plan worked. We played well in the first half, scored two goals, could have scored a third, but missed.”
“We knew that the second half was ahead, and nothing was over yet. After the break we looked good again, carried out good counterattacks, had many chances, and scored the third goal. In principle, there were no questions about defense either; we played normally. We won – we did what we set out to do.”
“And now we have three matches ahead: Dnepr-1, Polesie, Dynamo. Let’s see how we can compete with the clubs that are also fighting for the highest places. All the most interesting things are yet to come, now it’s only the 11th round.”
Let us remind you that Vernidub became the best coach of the UPL in September. The Krivbass mentor beat Roman Grigorchuk, Vitaly Ponomarev and Mircea Lucescu in a fan poll.
Krivbass scored 23 points and strengthened its leadership in the UPL. In the next match, the Krivoy Rog team will host Dnepr-1 on October 28.
