The head coach of the Krivoy Rog club held a press conference before the Europa League match.
Victoria is a strong opponent, with good players, but Krivbass is not afraid of her. The head coach of the Krivoy Rog club, Yuri Vernidub, announced this at a press conference before the match in the Europa League.
He also mentioned his players, who only reached the European Cups after two years of playing in the UPL.
“I am glad that Krivbass entered the European competition after only two years of participation in the UPL. I am very grateful to the club and my colleagues that in a short time we are getting our first Steps to the Europa League. We understand that the opponent is so strong that they reached the quarter finals of the Conference League last year, but we want to achieve our goals and keep winning.
Test match against Victoria in the winter? This is a friendly match where you should not pay attention to the result. Yes, we lost 0:3. But then there are other players in the Czech team. Hori leaves, Kadu will miss the game. Tomorrow is the Europa League, a completely different level and mood. Victoria is playing aggressively, we are ready for it. Victoria played with three central defenders, we also consider this. The opponent has three players playing for the Czech national team. They are good players, one of the strikers is Schultz, who scored 18 goals last season. We respect our enemy, but we are not afraid of him.
Everyone is ready for the fight, except for the newcomers Konate and Zaderaki. They are broken. But on August 10-12 we are waiting for them to return to the general group. If we pass this round, we can add them to the next one.
The war with the Russians has been going on for three years, a difficult time for our country. But we play the Ukrainian Championship at home. It’s not very easy either, as air raids disrupt battles. But these are our problems, we are used to them. I also thank our legionnaires who come to defend the colors of Krivbass, despite the war. I am also grateful to FC Krivbass that I can do what I want, because you know that I also defended Ukraine, I was there where it was “hot”. We know what we are playing for and for whom. Each of us has many relatives and friends who are now on the front line. Therefore, we know who we will be playing for tomorrow. Why are we playing in Slovakia? This is the best logistics center,” the Krivbass website quoted Vernidub as saying.
Let’s remember that the match in the third round of the Europa League qualifying Krivbass – Victoria will take place on August 8 in Kosice, Slovakia and will start at 21:00 Kyiv time.
We remind you that Dynamo previously missed out on winning the Champions League qualifier against Rangers.
