Kryvbas defender Danylo Beskorovainyi, who played in Slovakia, compared the Slovakian championship to the Ukrainian championship.
- In Slovakia, I worked with strong coaches. They allowed the defenders to do a lot. I don't want to say that we are not allowed to do anything here, but in Slovakia they simply asked us to play in a more attacking manner, to join the attacks, to move with the ball, not to be afraid to go for the win. These are things that look a bit strange for defenders in the Ukrainian Premier League. But our coaches are also adjusting us to different models of play. Therefore, now I am satisfied with my game and the requirements set by the coaching staff.
Now it is difficult to fully understand the level of our championship, because the war is still going on in the country. But I think it's good that we are playing the championship, we have legionnaires coming to us. And there are teams like Polissia, for example, who have been promoted from the first league and can afford to sign quality players. And now, if you look at the UPL standings, Zhytomyr are in second place. Therefore, I think our league is moving in the right direction, and the championship will continue to grow stronger. There are very good young people who will go abroad or strengthen our top clubs to play successfully in European competitions," said Beskorovainyi.
