Hero of the 5th round Bily: I remember the performances for Veres, we played in the snow, in the swamp, but we showed ourselves

Vasyl Bily is a defender, and his main achievement with his teammates in the match with the Odessans is undoubtedly a clean sheet. But at the same time, the winner of the title of Hero of the Tour from the PFL and Sport Arena helped his team a lot in the front: Kulikov-Bilka opened the scoring when Vasya gave a direct pass to Gladky, who shot the goal with an exquisite shot, and then scored himself, successfully connecting on a set piece.

The hero of the fifth round in the Second League, Vasily Bely, in an interview with Sport Arena, shared his impressions of the victory over Real Pharma (3:0) and recalled his performances in Kazakhstan.

– How unexpected and pleasant is it for you to be recognized as the best player of the round in the Second League?

– I thank the authoritative experts for recognizing me as the best in the tour. I did not expect to win this honorable nomination, but I am pleased. This is the reward for the entire team. If Gladkiy had not scored, there would not have been my assist.

– In the fourth round, your team faced a test from the leader, Probiy, whom Kulikov-Bilka beat in the first stage of the Ukrainian championship among amateurs, but was eliminated by him both in the AAFU playoffs and already in the Ukrainian Cup under the auspices of the UAF. What conclusions did you draw from the match against Probiy?

– During the theoretical lesson, the coaching staff pointed out our mistakes. We analyzed our game according to standards. Unfortunately, we didn’t hold out enough against the leader, but we drew the right conclusions. We rehabilitated ourselves before our own fans and will move forward on a positive note. I hope that we will be able to progress from match to match.

– In the match against Real Pharma you played with a 4-4-2 formation. How comfortable is this attacking formation for you? Does the personnel resource allow you to play from a position of strength?

– We always try to play our football and do not look at the opponent. It is important that Vladimir Gladky returned after an injury. We understood that the Odessans would play from defense. In this match, we played more from a position of strength, and this brought its result. The whole team worked for this confident victory.

– Three wins and third place – is this the result that satisfies you? Did you expect the maximum number of points?

– We always want to win, but we have not yet been able to achieve results on the road. We set ourselves the highest goals before each game.

– This is not your first season playing at a professional level. In which club have you managed to reveal your potential the most? Maybe you had to play with famous football players?

– I have pleasant memories of the matches for Stal. I remember how our team lost to Chornomorets on penalties in the quarterfinals of the Ukrainian Cup. I also remember playing for Rivne Veres. We won 3:1 in the match with Mariupol. The team’s results back then did not match the level of the club’s infrastructure. We played in the snow, in the swamp, but we showed ourselves. A team of like-minded people gathered in Veres back then.

As for the football players, there were qualified football players in Rukh who had gone through the UPL school. I would like to mention the Barantsov brothers. In Victoria, I played with Arzhanov and Kasyan. It was nice to have the opportunity to play with a number of quality football players.

– What can you remember from your career in Kazakhstan? Are you satisfied with your performance for Altai and what problems did you encounter?

– It was not easy for me, because I did not have the opportunity to move my family. By that time, I had just had a child. Our club had a good team, everyone helped each other. I would also like to mention the long flights. We had to spend 20 hours on the road. There were no other organizational problems. The First League of Kazakhstan then resembled our Second League. Astana-2 and Zhetysu-2 played there. Young footballers got a chance to prove themselves. Our team was among the leaders, but we still did not have enough for the end of the championship. I believe that every experience is always useful. I understood how legionnaires are treated in a foreign country.

– Has the Second League of Ukraine become more competitive now? How would you rate the sports component and the level of competition organization?

– Now there are a number of UPL reserve clubs in the division, adding competition. Young guys get a chance to prove themselves. In addition, footballers who do not play in the first team in the UPL have game practice. Now everyone can beat everyone, so the competitions are interesting. It is necessary to be maximally prepared for each game.
