The head coach of FSK "Mariupol" Oleg Krasnopyorov commented on the victory (3:0) over "Dinaz" in the first league match.
"I am very grateful to the Armed Forces of Ukraine for the opportunity to live in a free country. It probably makes no sense to comment on football. I can comment on the situation that is happening around our club. Let’s say that everyone has refused us. We played on the brand "Mariupol" — and went away.
The game was in great doubt, and thanks to the guys who found friends willing to help us selflessly sort out this round and give us time to find people who love football and can take responsibility for the team. This game will give a chance for such people.
I understand that the situation in the country is difficult, the war is ongoing, but the world is not without good people, and while there is hope and faith that our team from the football city will not disappear from the map of Ukraine. I am grateful to the guys. They are just wonderful. I am very proud to work with them, and I am very thankful to them for what they do under the conditions our club has found itself in. Right now they are joking a little about bonuses, and bonuses will probably be the days off. We don’t have anything else for now. We believe that people will be found to help our club. I thank the guys, I thank the fans for being concerned. I just went into the locker room and they are already writing, congratulating. We will believe that everything will be fine.
As for the match against YKSI, the guys said during the week that they would like to see something, but no one brought any money. They made such a decision, but they realized that they are not needed in this situation at this moment. Now we are looking for a way out of the corner into which "Mariupol" has found itself. For now, we are just happy that we managed to play the match. Now we will look for opportunities to hold the next match. We will believe in the best. As God wills, so it will be," — Krasnopyorov is quoted by the official site of FSK "Mariupol".
