Well-known journalist Mykola Nesenyuk spoke about the successful start to the current Ukrainian championship by Kryvbas Kryvyi Rih, which after the 8th round is second in the standings, only one point behind the leader Shakhtar Donetsk.
Mykola Neseniuk- The day before yesterday, the coach of Lviv's Rukh did our football a great favour - he said what everyone was thinking but was afraid to say. Namely, that the Kryvbas team from Kryvyi Rih looks better than Dynamo and Shakhtar.
There's no revelation here - just look at the standings, where Kryvbas is among the first, or watch the latest matches of Coach Vernydub's team. It is thanks to him that the team has risen so high and is playing so confidently. In all other respects, Kryvbas is like everyone else. The team is made up of players that our leaders didn't need and nameless foreigners, and they are moving forward without any help, unlike Dnipro, which was dragged to victory by the ears of referees for almost the entire last season, or the team whose owner has been publicly criticising the referees this season. Probably for the fact that they are dragging his team to victories by one ear, not two.
However, let's get back to Vernydub, who has always taken the teams he has joined to the highest possible level. What can stop him from making Kryvbas a contender for the league title? I am sure that the referees will not harm the team - everyone knows well on whose initiative Kryvbas was instantly "revived" and received everything necessary for its existence. This means that everything will be decided on the football field. Will anyone be able to stop the team from Kryvyi Rih? I think we have such a team. And it is not Shakhtar," Nesenyuk wrote on his Facebook page.
