Krivbass took third place in the Ukrainian Championship ahead of schedule
Head coach Krivbassa Yuri Vernidub said that his team deservedly won bronze medals Ukrainian Premier League 2023/24.
“I’d like to start by saying that even though the team lost today, I’m very happy and in a good mood. What we have achieved with Krivbass over these two years is the result of hard work. The guys did their job and did it very well. We rightfully received bronze awards. After all, not every team returning to the elite manages to receive championship awards in two years.”
“Great respect and gratitude to all the club’s employees: from base workers to our managers. We still have a long way to go. It will be difficult in the future, because I constantly say that it is easier to win something than to defend this success next season.”
“I understand how much work lies ahead. We will now think about how we plan to play in the European Cups. Thank you all very much. We have come a very good way. Yes, we lost to Dnieper-1, Polesie. These are very cool teams. But we are above them and it is deserved. As for today’s game, we failed in the last 10 minutes. We rebuilt and wanted to play with three defenders. We tried a different scheme, but perhaps this was not necessary. Perhaps it’s my mistake, but you need to learn from mistakes and move on.”
“Is the team ready for European competition? Complex issue. Ahead is a meeting with the president of the club. Let’s see: perhaps we will need foreign fees. Secondly, the championship is ending, and there is good demand for our players. I understand the management, because we must both take new players and sell them and move on. If there are offers that are impossible to refuse, then what is the point of keeping such players with us.”
Krivbass lost to Polissya in the match of the 28th round of the UPL (0:1). Let us remind you that the match began on May 12, but was interrupted in the 37th minute due to an air raid raid. Subsequently, the match was postponed to May 13. On the next day, the meeting was also interrupted due to an air threat.
