The head coach of Kryvbas Kryvyi Rih Yuriy Vernidub commented on the defeat of his team by Veres Rovno (0:1) in yesterday's match of the 3rd round of the Ukrainian Championship. In four games, the Kryvyi Rih team managed to draw only once, and lost the rest of the matches.
“For the third match we are losing. To be honest, I'm already tired of congratulating my colleagues on their victories. But you still need to have a core and congratulate Veres on the victory. But there is nothing to congratulate us on, because three matches have already been played and not a single goal has been scored.
So there is work to be done. Well, let's work even harder. If we are on our knees, we need to have the strength and will to get up from our knees. I have confidence in each of my guys. Of course, they are now very upset. That's life. You have to have character to move on.
When I arrived, I immediately said: there is only one task - to make a team. When I arrived, there were 12 players on the team: six plus six young players. Those who are still working with us. We assembled the team that we could muster. As for tasks, I have always said that I am an ambitious person, so I want to achieve high goals. But if they are not installed, then there is no point in working. If we want to build a good team, then we have no right to be in the place where we are now and demonstrate the game that we are demonstrating now.
If the club management says that... so to speak... I'm ready for it. If I succeed, then I'm ready... Even though I have a contract. They shook hands and moved on. Everything happens in life. I am a trainer. Today I am somewhere up there, high, and tomorrow low. That's life. And this can happen to every player. I'm okay with this. At present, management is at least trusting. I work, and if they say no, I won't work. What questions.
Yes, it is very difficult now, but we need to rethink everything. And to get the team out of this hole, so to speak. This is a top priority. The task so far is the same: to cope with this pressure and reach a new level, which will allow you to start scoring points and winning,” Vernidub said after the match with Veres.
