Eduard Sarapiy: "Kucher and Krasnikov could have been treated more respectfully"

Dnipro-1 defender Eduard Sarapiy commented on Yuriy Bereza's statements about Oleksandr Kucher and Yevhen Krasnikov.

- Do you agree with what Yuriy Bereza said about Yevhen Krasnikov and Oleksandr Kucher?

- I have, of course, read Bereza's interview. I do not agree at all with the words of the president of Dnipro-1 about Kucher and Krasnikov. "Dnipro-1 fought for the championship to the last, won silver medals for the first time, got the opportunity to compete for the Champions League, and left the Conference League group. This is the club's most successful season.

- How did you work with sporting director Krasnikov and head coach Kucher?

- "Both at Metalist and Dnipro-1, I had a great time working with them. They are professionals who know their job. Dnipro-1 has achieved good results with Kucher and Krasnikov, so I think those were incorrect statements about them. They could have been more respectful, because Dnipro-1 achieved the greatest results during their tenure. They played in the European Cups, which has never happened before, so we should have been more respectful to them.

- Have you ever seen Bereza at the club?

- I haven't seen him personally. He called us in Slovakia on the eve of the match against Spartak Trnava, said parting words and wished us good luck.
