Yurii Vernydub: I liked the fact that my boys really played football

Goals shea coach of Kryvyi Rih Kryvbas in Yurii Vernydub after the first match of the playoffs of the League of Conferences 2024 \ 25 against Spanish Betis A - 0: 2 commented the game at a press conference.

- it's hard to comment. Moreover, we lost 0: 2. We were opposed by a very good rival. A powerful rival from one of the top 5 European League. The match was difficult for us. But I liked the fact that the guys were still playing. They did not sit in defense, but really played. The match turned out to be interesting: both the opponent attacked, and we. The only difference is that Betis and somewhere more skill. So 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 UPL in Kryvyi Rih. It is necessary to analyze everything quietly. I told the guys that such matches should be fun. After all, duels with European teams teach us, I and players, which we need to strive in the future. If you work honestly and do everything you need, you will definitely reach some peaks. In no way.

- Kryvbas already spent two matches in Kosice. How do you support our fans?

- I liked everything very much. I am grateful to everyone and everyone who supported and cheered us. Their support is a class. For the team it is a big incentive. What we lost - we apologize. But agree, and the rivals were not very easy for us: that Viktoria that Betis. We still did everything to achieve a positive result. But, worth admitting, today we are somewhere weaker than these rivals.

We have something to strive. There is no other way: only work and workout. Then we really achieve something. I thank my players for these matches, I have nothing to say they are bad. I very much hope that after these European Cup matches, we will be better playing in UPL. After all, such matches should be an impetus for each of them, as well as for me as a trainer.
