Heading the newcomer to the UPL, Yuriy Vernidub added intrigue to the most unusual season of the Ukrainian championship in history
Frankly, I didn’t believe in it until the last moment – the big surprise is to bring your former team to the Champions League group, drop Real Madrid (Madrid) and then accept the newcomer to the UPL.
Pitfalls were looked for – maybe the rumors are just a cover for negotiations with Shakhtar, who will not send De Zerbi on the train. Perhaps the agents are manipulating a well-known name…
But no. Yuri Vernidub has already proved that he thinks quite differently from the average man in the street. A man without courage and courage will not go to the front after the Champions League, Nikolaich went. A person without sports ambitions and competitive thirst will not accept a UPL newcomer after the Champions League. Nicholas accepted.
A very beautiful story, quite for Hollywood. A strong coach, at the very height of his success, makes such a turn that the money chasers and careerists will definitely not understand. But every patriot of a besieged country, which is defending itself in a righteous war against the occupiers, will understand.
Over time, these times and these heroes will be legendary. Yuriy Vernydub will be on all the banners of all stadiums, and when he appears from the sub-tribune, all the ultras, both their own and others, will rise to their feet in a standing ovation.
In addition to the beauty and symbolism of the moment, there is, of course, rationality.
Kryvbas is a powerful project. Even in the First League, they were able to afford Alexander Babich and rather powerful newcomers who do not need to explain on their fingers what the UPL is. Now, of course, the selection of personnel will be even stronger. And there is a slight suspicion that in the most unusual championship in history, newcomers will immediately threaten the favorites – since the differences between them have faded, and there is not much curvature in how some are completed and how others are completed.
The second ratio – Kryvbas is a special project. Serviceman of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Vernydub received a special order from the Commander-in-Chief, allowing him to start working in this team. This is a club that definitely attracts attention and will be among the favorites.
The third ratio – the coach must train. From a sporting point of view, this is an interesting challenge, much more interesting, for example, the opportunity now to lead some ordinary foreign team and calmly roll round after round in a boring, predictable championship. Working now at the UPL is courage, it is a challenge, it is the highest professional class.
There is no doubt that the aggressor stole an incredible season from us. What would Metalist be like if he had retained his combat capability through legionnaires. What would Vorskla and Dnepr-1 look like, rapidly growing and developing. And where could Shakhtar develop if its “raw” legionnaires are snapped up by clubs from Serie A and Primeira?

But we don’t give up a single piece of land to the enemy, we don’t give up our football either. The arrival of Yuriy Vernydub in Kryvbas is a clear signal to all those who doubt whether the UPL is possible now. Not only is it possible, it will be heroic. World Soccer and FourFourTwo will write about how it is held under the sirens. Leading TV channels will cover its course next to the top leagues. All social networks will tear up photos and videos from the most heroic league in the world.
Yuri Vernidub agreed to be a part of it. We knew he was a man. Here’s another confirmation for you.
