Yuriy Vernydub (photo: gettyimages.com)- Now they are also talking about the possibility of returning some fans to the stands. Is this a good idea?
- Football with fans is much better than football without fans. But given the time we have, it is a big risk. Our managers who make this decision are responsible for safety. We have to be careful with this. Managers have to decide if they can negotiate with the fans for football, it will be very good.
- The stadium in Lviv, for example, is farther away from the frontline, and if Kryvbas plays at home, in Kryvyi Rih, isn't it too risky?
- Well, we are playing somehow, thank God. And what about Lviv? Lately, the Russians have been reaching there and beating up all over Ukraine. So I think there is no safety anywhere from these scum.
