Teams that were still at risk of departure.
The Ukrainian Championship has reached its end, and it’s time to pick up your bags. At the end of the day, we had a team-by-team discussion about the teams that had failed the season - those that were eliminated and those that were at risk of being relegated for a long time.
Metalist 1925 Place: 16 Goals scored: 32 (8th place) Missed goals: 57 (16th place) Top scorer: Dmitro Yusov (5 goals) The axis is like this every now and then: following the team, it would seem that. The Kharkiv club, which departed from the rest of the city, finished the season in the top half of the table based on its performance.!
In truth, of course, Kharkiv residents have no idea what to write about this high-ranking nomination. The best scorer has five goals - there is no way to entice, to leave, there is no one. I have written a lot about the “twenty-fifths” in the rest of the tour (1, 2), so that I can talk about it for a long time. In short, the new, absolutely non-football leaders, with anti-football decisions, sent the nasty team to the bottom from the very beginning.
From the team, which was sometimes tedious, but even more often effective, Metalist 1925 transformed into an absolutely mindless team. A significant part of the team is dedicated to fighting - and not at all suitable for anything else. Garmash, Yurchenko, Golovne, Skrypnyk were absolutely not suitable for fighting. In the result of 13 matches after the “winter” strengthening, the Kharkiv team gained more than one victory.
In this case, it is necessary to understand that Metalist died in 1925, becoming one of the number of victims of the shelling of Kharkov, back in the spring. So Nosov himself deserves a lot of credit for saving the club, and then for everything else. Now let’s see what’s next: based on these insights, the club will not collapse, but will increase its budget, as Pavel Isenko says. Let me tell you again: try to master the goalkeeper position if you have the wonderful Mozil in you - it’s amazing. Kharkivians from a boring, but not effective, club became cheerful, but not mindless.
Minaj Place: 15 Goals scored: 27 (14th place) Missed goals: 50 (15th place) Top scorers: Denis Ustimenko, Artur Remenyak (5 goals each) And those who are not having fun at the same time, then the team. The “Foxes” fought like lefties, they didn’t have enough leftovers to waste in the transition matches, in which they would be clear favorites - ale, ale, ale. If you finish the first half of the season with six points and no goals (! ) victories, for the sake of success, in principle, giving is required.
Minai is not allowed to slightly gravel to the equator. In principle, you can compare with another team, which has flown, and go to the obvious conclusion: in order to save space from the real flight, you need to play the whole season in the middle, and not miss the target of the flight.
Tim is no less, the last word will be remembered, and it’s even more important that with the team, which has won so many times in 2024, the team has surpassed seven teams in the league - let’s look at Oleksandriya, Kolos, I’m not talking about direct competitors. Lyubenovich, having worked through the visible work - and, judging from this, in the coming season, Ingulets. And also miraculously Zaishov Vakula, who was one of the greatest wingers of this championship. And Artur Remenyak, who was also crooked. And the miracle at the gates is Oleksandr Kemkin.
It’s too easy to sort through all of them, “trying on” to various old-timers of the UPL - but this does not reduce the doubts about the prospects.. A very modest team of two rocks, after a small period of time, vied for the sporting principle, only regularly competed with the recruits of others - and flew, which even the richest spectators did not want. When looking for resources, Minai is a much more modest club, and it will be even more difficult for me to make it to the big leagues.
Obolon Mіstse: 14 Goals scored: 18 (16th place) Missed goals: 41 (11th place) Top scorer: Igor Krasnopir (6 goals) 0.6 goals per game! It’s all the same, as if in a championship with 20 participants, each club ended the season with 23 goals – and in a championship with 18, they even gained only twenty. And there were no such teams in the current top league - despite the fact that, of course, 2-3 teams floated. And the “brewers” \u200b\u200blost.
How to marvel at this? On one side, obviously, Ivaschenko achieved a coaching feat. Guardiola said that he could not deprive the weaker team of his wife - the coach of Obolon was able to earn it, regardless of the failure of all possible strong ones. Oleg Vishnevsky is a prodigious striker: having played 12 matches for Minai, 11 for Obolon – and without scoring even once. However, for the sake of justice, he didn’t have a lot of opportunities.
The training of coach Obolon is based on the respect for extracting all the juices from his opponent, training him with all eleven people. The Kiev derby managed to play 1:0 and 1:1 with Levim Bereg, but the final points brought the “brewers” \u200b\u200bzero draws – they themselves managed to finish the regular season outside the direct wicket zone. Zagalom, a team from the first league could steal its place in the UPL, but let’s bow down to the teams that failed half the season. The coming season from the Carpathians will be clearly more complicated.
Veres Mіstse: 13 Goals scored: 31 (10th place) Missed goals: 46 (12-13th place) Top scorer: Vitaliy Dakhnovsky (5 goals) It’s important to watch out for Veres. Nogo Tsikavyi has a Youtube channel where you can regularly get clear content. He has a very open-minded president, who loves not just those who give, but his brothers interview - Igor Naden himself is ready to talk to his colleagues. About Veres, there is an inside story: Yuriy Gabovda, after working as a sports director for a long time, obviously became obsessed with Alexandria - no one had such a demand during the hour of being a gravel.
The axis is only exhausted from the level and does not closely correspond to its media resource. Another river will end the season in transitional matches, and it will be a serious task. It’s not a miracle that team captain Bogdan Kogut made a save in the first match, Epicenter beat 2:0 – and who knows how the duel would have developed further. Gabovda started without understanding, having earned the interest of someone: the failed robot, of course, is not known, but also Banada and Mrvaljevich, the main Sichne settlements, quickly lost to the competition. If we turn the difference with the “gebra”, Obolonya will lose two points, but we can’t help but call for food.
All this, obviously, does not reflect positive aspects. The openness of the ZMI - all those who bark wonderfully of the ZMI, the stadium of Rivnoy is one of the most atmospheric of the Liza, and the “sticks”, zreshtoyu, Veres won even beautifully. Moreover, against the Zaporizhzhya Metalurg, the team's score became 3:0 already in the 29th quarter, against the Epicenter of the last year - at the end of the first half.
The hope is that it is adequate: football is placed in the sphere of excitement, and the football team is obliged to please spectators not only on the field, but also after it. Placing the names of your shareholders on team T-shirts is a great, symbolic gesture, and Rivny truly loves this team. Ale, the work of all those respected to Veres is even richer, and Nadya’s everyday life has become richer nervous thanks to the agreement with the front coach. Now it will not be easy for Sergiy Lavrinenko to know the work of his wife.
Chornomorets Place: 12th Place goals scored: 38 (7th place) Missed goals: 47 (14th place) Leading scorer: Andriy Shtogrin (8 goals) That episode when the season is just over xia,. The ten remaining matches of Chornomorets are a total shock. Fifteen remaining – 11 hits. And this is a rare occurrence, if the freight trains stop before the river: starting from the current training camp, Grigorchuk’s team played 22 games – and lost 16 of them.
The Odessa project is burning until the last hour. For whom there are a whole number of reasons, the skin of which one by one would be worn out to sink the club. The president of the club, a great admirer of Viktor Yanukovych, is definitely not in a position to invest millions in this important project; Odessa is going through important times; and the vice-president of the club, one of the greatest managers of Ukraine Volodymyr Geninson, having deprived Chornomorets.
Grigorchuk masterfully dodges the arrows of criticism - saying, the team does not recognize his equal. This is partly a fact: there is no doubt that the miners will be better able to realize their ideas. Well, besides this, Roman Yosipovich is simply a PR genius. It’s possible to give out beautiful interviews, but brighten up at press conferences - but these are just words, but in reality the team with a really bad warehouse turned out to be not ready for the rest of the season.
Grigorchuk’s brother wisely managed to sack the president of an ambitious team - and bring this team to a clean place. Skrypnyk is so cross-eyed at the defense and makes such a blatant bet on the attack, which sometimes looks simply reckless (Shakhtar’s three victories over Chornomorets deserve to be in the top 3 of Shakhtar’s simplest victories in the season). And in the place of a new middle peasant, I thought that I should trust Roman Yosipovich.
However, this is especially true for Grigorchuk, but for Chornomorets everything is simple - the club is preparing for the final period of hibernation, deep sleep. In addition to the no less legendary Dnipro and Metalist, the Odessa club is not allowed to die altogether - this is the same team that took bronze medals in the SRSR championship-1974. Ale Chornomorets was allowed to go down to the first league - and then they would be allowed to fight here between her and in ten or twelve places.
The problem is that Geninson's solution does not allow you to live in energy-saving mode. There is no way that, after Avagimyan’s hat-trick, the club has multiplied its work in the transfer market, sold it for a million million, and is still alive for the next month. Saluki could have been sold because this asset was lost and with Geninson - after this season, the young central defender only spent at a price. Zagalom, the legendary club has not legendary hours at all.
Kolos Mіstse: 11 Goals scored: 22 (15th month) Missed goals: 31 (6th-7th month) Top scorer: Andriy Tsurikov (4 goals) And the league is coming for our club, I hope, tsikavі. Geninson came here himself – and definitely not to fight Chornomorets in the 11th-12th month.
Everyone knows and knew that the Sukhoi family has enough resources to support the team on the same level as the “head bus of the UPL”. Going from revolutionary actions could have been demotivating by the success of this bus: Kolos, scoring very little, going to the European Cup, and the order guaranteed itself for a lot of rounds until the end of the season.
Well, I had a chance to christen myself when the makeup was on: this season the defense of Kolos is no longer so armored, and the team scores very few goals. Translated to the new top league: 0.73 goals per game – less than any team in the Premier League, Bundesliga and “defensive” Serie A. On a par with Clermont and Cadiz, which were eliminated from their championships.
Well, what do you think Geninson will forget over the summer?. Now we can start from scratch – or rather, from zero, which is how Kolos’ matches often ended. Yaroslav Vishnyak has been appointed to the managerial position, Oleksandr Pozdiev has not shown in the spring what he deserves for a full-time contract - then, it is necessary to joke with the coach, and under the new team. The most obvious, popular option in our country, I repeat, even disappointing in the spring.
And, frankly speaking, I would like to open Paulauskas. This is a forward, first of all, of status (13 matches and 2 goals for the Lithuanian national team), but in another way, even textured. 196 centimeters, with the mind to collapse and fight - so Ibrahimovic can be ready for the UPL. The first rounds turned out to be blurry, wanting to bring home during this hour, for example, a highlight with a goal against Shakhtar (Gitis did not score himself, but simply lost a couple of “Girniks” in the episode) – or, to be honest, and won against the team this weekend.
