Yurii Vernydub: We will not give up our dreams and will go to the end

The press conference of the head coach of the Kryvyi Rih "Kryvbas" Yurii Vernydub before the second match of the third qualifying round of the Europa League 2024/2024 against the Czech "Victoria" Pilsen.

- It is very nice to be in the city of Plzen, in the Czech Republic. We came to the return game with a good mood. We rely on our strengths. Determined to win here and advance to the next round.

- you trained Moldovan Sheriff, with which Real won. Do you believe that tomorrow Fortuna will be by your side?

- If I didn't believe it, I was not a trainer. Faith should always be. My task as head coach is to bring this setting to each of my boys. They should also believe in victory, go out tomorrow and achieve the result we need.

- Did the defeat against "Karpaty" shake the psychological state of the team?

- Defeat against "Karpaty" is the championship of Ukraine, nothing more, but now the Europa League. We understand that we are having a difficult month now, we are constantly moving: Ukraine, the Czech Republic, Slovakia. It is very difficult. Moreover, unlike "Victoria", we get to the matches not by plane, but by bus. We have to cross the border for three or four hours. But this is not a problem. The most important thing is that we are a football club from Ukraine, which was on its way to its goal and tomorrow will play the return match in the third round of the Europa League, and then in the playoffs. We will not give up on our dream, but will go to the end.
