The media reported that Karpaty's head coach Myron Markevych had a misunderstanding with the club's chief scout Hlib Korniyenko. In particular, it is reported that the experts have a different vision of the approach to team recruitment. A UA-Football journalist contacted the Lviv club's coach Myron Markevich with a request to comment on the situation.
Myron Markevych- How can you comment on this information?
- I don't know where it comes from. It's some kind of incomprehensible stuff.
- So you deny that there are some differences in the approach to team formation?
- There are no differences. We are just looking for players, working. He offers me - I look at it. Does it fit? I tell him that it fits. Then he works. That's all. It's clear that not everyone suits me. But this is work, you can't run away from it.
- There is an opinion that Kornienko offers young talent, particularly from the Latin American market. Would you rather see ready-made and established players in the team?
- This is the first time I've heard about this. I want talented players. It doesn't matter how old they are... That's all. Not everyone goes - it is difficult to get players to Ukraine now.
- As for specific positions... Would you like another striker to join the team as a priority?
- Yes, we need players in every line. However, you also need to understand that priority is given to Ukrainian players. This is also not so easy. Because the players we are interested in are very expensive. Their salaries are high. There are many nuances here. Not all foreign players want to come - due to certain circumstances. There is a search process.
- About Arielson. Are you happy with this signing? Was it your idea?
- I didn't sign him. We rented him for three months. We'll see how he performs.
- So you did not initiate this lease agreement?
- Yes, we just needed to. We took all the players at the last minute. Apart from the Brazilian, we are talking about loan players from Shakhtar. We didn't buy anyone in principle. We just rented them. And now we are looking at whether they are suitable or not. Buleza suited us, but unfortunately, he got injured. The search process is ongoing, we'll see how it goes.
- You mentioned Andriy Buleza. What can you say about Eduard Kozyk?
- Well, we have him for now. We are watching not only him, but also all the others. This is the process, what can you do? We need to review everyone to the end, and only then make a decision.
- Who makes the final decision on signing potential newcomers at Karpaty?
- The head coach.
