Kryvbas Kryvyi Rih's Cameroonian defender Ivan Dibango has assessed his side's chances of qualifying for next season's Champions League and also spoke about their head coach Yuriy Vernydub.
"How realistic is it to make it to the Champions League at the end of this season? I think everything is in our power. We just need to keep playing in the same spirit and not lose points. "Kryvbas can become a new grande dame of Ukrainian football.
As for Yurii Vernydub, he is a father figure to every Kryvbas player, including me. It is really hard to describe it in words. Yuriy Vernydub plays a big role for all of us. He is a real mentor and teacher. Whenever I have a problem or worry, I come to him and we talk, he gives me great advice on how to do the best. When I go out on the pitch, I pray not only for myself, but also for my teammates and Yuriy Vernydub," Sport Express quoted Dybango as saying.
