The coach of the Kryvyi Rih team emphasized that such matches are an incredible experience
Coach Krivbassa Yuri Vernidub commented on the defeat from Betis (0:2) in a nominally home match of the qualifying playoff round Conference leagues.
“It’s hard to comment on anything. Especially since we lost 0:2. We faced a very good opponent. A strong opponent from one of the top 5 European leagues – La Liga. The match was difficult for us.”
“But I liked the fact that the guys played anyway. They didn’t sit in defense, they really played. The match was interesting: both the opponent attacked, and we did. The only difference is that Betis has more skill in some ways. That’s why they scored two good goals and won.”
“We will prepare for the next matches. Now in two days we have a game with Ingulets in the UPL in Krivoy Rog. We need to calmly analyze everything. I told the guys that such matches should be enjoyable. After all, matches with European teams teach us, me and the players, what we should strive for in the future. If you work conscientiously and do everything as it should be, then you will definitely achieve some heights. There is no other way.”
“I am grateful to each and every one who supported us and cheered for us. Fan support is great. It is a huge incentive for the team. We apologize for losing. But, you must admit, our opponents were not very easy: Victoria, Betis. We still did everything to achieve a positive result. But, it must be admitted, today we are weaker than these opponents.”
“We have something to strive for. There is no other way: only work and training. Then we will really achieve something. I thank my players for these matches, I have nothing bad to say to them. I really hope that after these European Cup matches we will start playing better in the UPL. After all, such matches should be a boost for each of them, as well as for me as a coach.”
Kryvbas conceded a goal in each half from Avila and Sanchez. The home match took place in Kosice, Poland. The return game in Spain will take place on Thursday, August 29.
