Head coach of Kharkiv Metalist 1925 Viktor Skrypnyk, commenting on the defeat from Odessa "Chornomorets" (0:3) in today's match of the 28th matchday of the Ukrainian championship, assessed the prospects of his team to keep their place in the UPL. Two rounds before the end of the tournament Kharkiv team share the last place in the championship standings with "Minay" (both teams have 22 points each).

We are counting on how our opponents will play, it's not up to us now. There are two home games where we have to pick up points to hope for a favourable result.
Will I remain the head coach of Metalist 1925 in case the team leaves UPL? Let`s wait for these two games. Once again I say that we will cling to the last, there are still chances, but not everything depends on us. We must gain points. We are in the last position now, what depends on us is that we must win. If we win - I hope we will have chances, if we don`t win - we will stay there", - Skrypnyk`s words are quoted by the official Metalist 1925 website.
