Metalist Kharkiv midfielder Yevhen Pidlepenets, who moved on loan to Dnipro-1 this winter, shared his impressions of the level of the Ukrainian Premier League. Recall that last season Metalist played in the first league.
“In the UPL, of course, it was very interesting to try my hand. Especially in a team like Metalist with its fans and their support. I won’t say that, compared to the first league, the UPL is something supernatural. Just a little more qualified players.
In the first league, we were a little pressured by the fact that we had to win every match. The UPL also had its own tasks, but they did not put pressure on us. Maybe that's why it was even easier somewhere, ”Pidlepenets quotes fanday.
