Kryvbas head coach Yuriy Vernydub assessed his team's performance at the start of the season, including the European Cup matches.
"You know, it was very difficult. I don't know how hard it is for Shakhtar and Dynamo, but it was really difficult for us during this period. We spent a lot of time traveling, waiting at the borders. But this is a school for us. We were also "lucky" with the draw: either Victoria or Betis.
But it's okay, it's an experience. Now we only want to go further. I believe in the victory of Ukraine, we will definitely win. We will all help our Armed Forces together to defeat these... what do you call them... non-humans," Vernydub' s words are quoted by Kryvbas' official website.
