Former Poltava Vorskla midfielder Ivan Krivosheenko spoke about the analyst in the coaching staff of the Ukrainian national team Gleb Platov.
Ivan Krivosheenko"I would like to express my opinion about one important point. In Ukrainian soccer, "Platov's sect" has quietly appeared. It all started in Dnipro, where this analyst recently worked. As I was told by soccer people working in Dnipro, he started his activity in the wrong way. In youth soccer, the founder of the PASS platform started to tell off deserved coaches who have achieved a lot in soccer.
Yes, there is an example of Mourinho who never played soccer and reached the top of his coaching career. But this is an isolated case. Gleb Platov immediately after the games, criticized and reprimanded the coaches of Dnipro-1 academy. Then he switched to agency activities - he recruited bloggers for his company. As a result, now a lot of talented guys have left Dnipro-1 for other teams.
What happens next: Platov placed his analysts in different national teams of Ukraine. In the youth national team of Ukraine, where coach Moroz is, he told who to take to the training camp, what substitutions to make. There the result was negative, because "Platov's sect" decided a lot.
And the cherry on the cake - according to my data, all substitutions in our first match at Euro 2024 Ukraine - Romania were made by... Platov. How can this be? This is the result - defeat 0:3. I would like the leaders of our soccer to pay attention to the imitation of the work of this figure. Yes, he learned foreign languages, says everything beautifully, but then what? He has never been in soccer and knows nothing about how to prepare for a tournament of this level, how to communicate with players," - SportArena quoted Krivosheenko as saying.
