The head coach of Odesa “Chornomorets” Alexander Babich spoke about the strike of the Russians on the club base in Sovinione, which occurred on Friday evening — a day before the home match of the “sailors” against “Levyi Bereh” (0:1) in the 19th round of the Ukrainian championship.

“When it all happened, everyone was at the base. The 'arrival' was at 21:55. Everyone was scared, of course.

The next morning at the base we had a team meeting. We asked the guys if everyone was ready for the match and heard in response that everyone was ready. They understand the situation, they understand that there is a war in the country. Everyone who went out today in the starting lineup said they were ready for the match,” — said Babich at the press conference after the match with “Levyi Bereh.”
