Head coach of Dnipro-1 Oleksandr Kucher commented on his team's 1-0 victory over Veres Rivne in yesterday's match of the 18th round of the Ukrainian championship. After this result, Dnipro caught up with the leading Shakhtar in terms of points. However, Kucher's team has played one more game than the Shakhtar.
"We really needed this victory to gain confidence, as we have recently had draws and defeats. So this is a very important victory for us. We needed it to give the guys confidence to continue to achieve better results.
Now we don't look at our ranking, but prepare for each match separately and don't think about the first or second place in advance," Kucher said.
