Yuriy Vernidub, the head coach of Kryvbas Kryvyirogorsk, whose team started the season as bronze medalists of the Ukrainian championship, answered the question whether he now aims to win silver medals.
Yuriy Vernidub"You can say anything, but I always want something more. In the last championship of Ukraine, we for a while went in first place, and then I said to the guys: "And why not? In this life anything can happen. There is an example of the same "Leicester": no one expected it, but it became the champion of England.
So, I repeat, I always want more. Not silver, but gold. And then as it turns out. The most important thing is that the guys understand: this season it will be more difficult for us to defend the bronze medalist title compared to the way we won it last season. But we are ready for it. Psychologically, physically and mentally. So I really, really believe in my team, I believe that everything will be fine. And there life will show, I do not want to say anything in advance," said Vernidub at a press conference after yesterday's match with Odessa "Chornomorets" (1:0) in the 1st round of the championship of Ukraine season-2024/25.
