- Mariose, you have returned from Rotterdam recently, where our club and Fa Kryvbas were represented among many of the best academies of the world at the Academy of Academies of the European Football Association. Tell more about the event.
- we were the only representatives from Ukraine. It is important not to stop at the same level and not sit on the city. We need to go abroad, be in a flow of events and draw new information for ourselves and work with the best clubs. I believe that in the foreseeable future we will become one of the top clubs. As for the summit, we were invited to be one of the best academies in Europe. This is the Academy of Figenord in Rotterdam, which produces an incredible number of wonderful players in the first teams.
it is valuable to see from the inside directly as their workflows go. We discussed new methodologies, renovation, on data analysis, periodization in the training cycle. All this was very meaningful, and we learned a lot of new, many interacted together, which is extremely important for us, for our development.
- representatives of Milan, PSV, Atlanta, Athletics, and other well-known European clubs were present at the summit. What contacts could be established in the West? Perhaps there are even some arrangements?
- these activities help to get acquainted with people from different top clubs in Europe. Our work is in no way kept secret what we are working on, so I can say that many contacts have been established that it is very valuable for the club and our young players in the future. As I have already said, this is part of our strategy that will lead to a fast progress. These are the events that will help our club internationally.
In the near future we will work on the proposals that we come to us, which is international tournaments in Europe. I believe that this is extremely important for our players, namely, to discover new horizons, to compete with the best European rivals. So, we work in this direction, and I hope we will get good news about participating in such tournaments.
- Let's talk about our academy. Have you been a leader for more than a month, how do you generally evaluate the level?
- First of all, I want to say that I am happy to be here and work with all of you. It was a very interesting period of time, because we analyzed a lot, found ways to improve various workflows, began to work on our strategy and further steps. It is a long process, because the football academy is not about an instant result, it is how to fuse the plant; You need some time for this, patience and only under these conditions in the limb will you be able to get fruits. We can also see that the number of children in the academy has increased noticeably noticeably, which cannot but rejoice.
- Marios, we know, but it would be interesting for viewers to hear a few words about your team. After all, did you come to Kryvyi Rih alone, and is it planned to involve additional specialists?
- Yes, we build a very powerful team that will consist of both European specialists and Ukrainian. In the near future, our audience learns everything, we will introduce new faces. In more detail: this is the new technical director of the Academy, replenishment in the goalkeeper department, specialist in methodology and fitness trainers. Subsequently, more and more new specialists will appear in our team.
- by the way, about the language barrier. Does it create any difficulties in work?
- there is one. You can say every day, it's like Challenge for me. I am really grateful that there is always a translator near me that helps in easy communication with others. Gradually, step by step, I will be able to learn Ukrainian, this is in my plans. So later, I am sure, I will easily interact with people and understand everything. In addition, it is important that I constantly communicate with my parents and our young Academy players. To me, this component is very important in the club's workflow. Therefore, such communication will only grow.
- I am sure that you have already got to go in Kryvyi Rih, so a somewhat banal question, but we are really interested in your opinion: how are you a city, how do you people?
- Kryvyi Rih is a very beautiful city, with open and good people. I found my favorite places and establishments where you can sit comfortably, delicious to eat and generally have good time, though not so much.
definitely i am admired by your courage. Despite the fact that many parents of children at the front, or even died, defending Ukraine, people still continue to fight and live. I am proud to have the opportunity to interact with such people every day.
It is very important for all children to be somehow distracted from all that horror that surrounds them, to be involved in sports, to play football every day. They have the opportunity to develop at the football academy Kryvbas. I think only such a way will help children easier to carry everything that happens.
- Well, finally, I would like to thank you from the mediaidil, because with your arrival the number of interesting initiatives has increased. These are awards for the best goals, visits to players to workout for children and vice versa. There was a separate run of the Academy. Children who live in the Bratislava Hotel are active in the social life of the neighborhood: charging, toloks ... There will still be some surprises?
- We work every week so you get more surprises and of course they will. We work closely with all the departments, especially with the media, to whom we also want to thank for cooperation and what they implement every day for the Academy, Children and parents. It is extremely important to have such a circle with everyone. Football clubs, academies are not just football structures.
We have to be something more, be immersed in every process of our commission. Therefore, in the future there will be new surprises, expect them. By the way, one of them will happen on this Monday. For a home game Kryvbas in Ruh, the players will be brought to the field of the Academy's young players. This is a common world practice, but for some reason we have not used it before. Hope everyone gets good positive emotions.
