The head coach of Kharkiv’s Metalist 1925, Patrick van Leeuwen, shared that his team plans to return to the elite division of the Ukrainian championship.
“We have a long period of preparation ahead for the spring stage. We certainly wish to continue developing the players and the team, acting as we finished the first stage.
I think our group will be very interesting because all teams will be closer in terms of level and points. So I’m already looking forward to March when the championship resumes.
I feel that in the championship group, everyone strives for victory. Just as we have a dream to lead ourselves to the Premier League, our opponents probably have the same dream. Everyone will do what they can,” van Leeuwen said in a comment to the official website of Metalist 1925.
