Artem Gagarin: In "Kryvbas and" 30 players, and this situation happened with only one. So maybe the problem is not in the club?

Vice president of Kryvyi Rih Kryvbas in Artem Gagarin answered the question of the Internet edition of Sport Express. The most urgent moments of conversation to your attention.

- Artem Sergeyevich, I would like to hear your opinion about the situation with Timur Stetskov and if the club reacted to it too rigidly. 

- unfortunately, this happens in football and not only in Kryvbas and, but all situations are different. This is a bad practice if it happens systematically. But I would like to note that we have 30 players at the club, and this situation happened with only one, yes, maybe the problem is not in the club? I understand that usually the football community stands on the side of the football players, but I think that all the nuances and details should be taken into account here. 

- for that we asked you to give us a comment. Tell me, many compared this way to solve similar situations with a football club Zorya …

- Well, what is here Zorya? This is another club and they have their own vision, and we have our own. They have their own situations, we have our own. They have their own president, we have their own. And we need to know ours to understand his attitude to the club, workers and players. Sometimes it is even too open. He always misses the issue of contracts, or some personal problems. Helps, decides and we all appreciate it. 

- that is that the President's decision?

- any decision is not made without the knowledge of the president. This case is no exception, especially since I know, Timur personally asked the President not to sell him in the summer, although the proposals were. This is their arrangement, part of which was the continuation of the contract. I think this is a very significant argument, to understand the context of this story. So, they talked, and the club and the president, as always, went to meet the player, but unfortunately, then it turned out to be a banal cunning of the football player and agent, or, as he calls himself a consultant.

- Volodymyr Bayenko said it was a joint decision of management and coaching staff. Is that so? 

- Of course, can it be different? Well, look, how can Yuri Nikolaevich now count on a player who is clearly not in our club? There was a personal conversation between them after which the final decision was made. In 2022 Vernydub, he believed in Stetskov at the very beginning of his stay in Kryvbas and, when Timur just began to recover after a severe knee injury and made it for six months of the main player of the UPL bronze medalist. 

Remember how many have seen a candidate for the national team before the winter pause? I have a simple question, where are these conversations now? I believe that the player did not cope with this pressure, and the immediate environment and all consultants only increased this pressure, which negatively affected Timur himself. But Yuri Nikolaevich believed and continued to trust and support the player. And what was next, I was already saying. 

- If there is such a frank conversation with us, it is possible to tell you what is the situation with the horseradish and is it not similar to the situation with Timur? 

- not at all. Ili had some maricious problems as well as fears for their own safety. We talked a lot about it, it was open and honest with the club. After the meetings he spent with Kryvbas, we gave him time to deal with personal issues and even were ready to release him to another club as a last resort. But after a certain pause he made a decision and returns to the team. Already this week, Ilch will start full training. 

- Thank you, but let's get back to Stetskov. As far as we know Timur's contract by the end of the season. How will the situation develop further? 

- Yes, by the summer of 2025. Concerning contracts as a whole and phrases that are very often like to use in the following cases: a football player is not a slave. He fully agrees, but he still has some obligations. Each football player has both a club's obligation and the responsibilities of the football player. However, sometimes they forget about the second part. For its part, all obligations club fulfilled and fulfill, and then - the choice by the player. 

— that is, you hint that Timur still has the opportunity to shake everything back?

- Well, look, we are all people, and we all make mistakes. Goals Aries - to draw the right conclusions. This is the experience we gain. Timur is another young guy, and it is his exprivens, it is his career and no one except him can decide what she will be. For each person in the FC structure Kryvbas club and his interests should be in the first place.
