Dmytro Khomchenovskyi: This failure will be an incentive for "Kryvbas" to work even harder

Midfielder of Kryvyi Rih "Kryvbas" Dmytro Khomchenovsky commented on the second match of the 2024/25 Conference League playoffs against the Spanish "Betis" - 0:3.

- Dmitry, how will you comment on the game?

- Of course, the team is disappointed, because we did not make it to the group stage. I would like to thank everyone: our Club, fans for their support; to our defenders, the Armed Forces - without them we would not have had such an opportunity. The team fought to the last. This failure will be an incentive for "Kryvbas" to work even harder in order to progress in the championship of Ukraine and gain new victories.

We really want to return to this incredible European Cup atmosphere next year, and perform better, we will do everything for this. For the boys, who played at this level for the first time, this is a great experience, they felt what European football is like.

- Did you feel psychological pressure from Betis fans, because the stadium was pretty well filled?

- I wouldn't say it was difficult. On the contrary: we wanted and expected it. It's incredible to play for such an audience.

- What do you think are the reasons why Kryvbas conceded three goals in four minutes before the break?

- It is difficult to answer immediately, you need to understand. We will analyze everything and in the future we will try not to make such unfortunate mistakes again.

- Did "Kryvbas" get a lot of experience in these four matches?

- One hundred percent. We understood how it is to play against European level teams. These matches will only benefit us.
