Famous Ukrainian coach Vyacheslav Grozny shared his expectations for the spring part of the current Ukrainian championship, which starts in a week's time.
"Who has the best chance of winning gold medals? I am not an oracle. If I knew who would win, I would probably change my profession (laughs). But seriously, teams that don't play in European competitions have more chances. They are fresher, they have a completely different workload. What about logistics? In European competitions, our teams cannot play themselves.
Plus, don't forget that the leaders give the most to the national team. The same Shakhtar and Dynamo. They give away players, and they have an extra workload. Imagine Shakhtar's schedule, especially for the players who are still in the national teams. It is very tight.
Everyone who fights has a chance, and if we ask any of the players or coaches of these teams, they will say that they will fight to the end. Doesn't Polissia want to become a champion? Doesn't Kryvbas want to? And Dnipro-1? "Dynamo and Shakhtar have no doubt that they have the task of becoming champions every year.
The championship, its spring part, will be interesting. The fight will be interesting not only for the championship, but for all the places. The teams have strengthened, the coaches have changed. Some are trying to rebuild tactically," SportNews quotes Grozny as saying.
