Ochilnik to the club commented on his first career in the UPL.

The Kamyanets-Podilskyi epicenter of this season debuted within the framework of the Ukrainian Premier League and for 16 rounds it has achieved 14 points and is in 14th place in the tournament table..

At the end of 2025, the President of the new UPL Ivan Chernonog gave an interesting interview, which included summaries of the team’s performances during this period.

“First of all, I want to tell the Armed Forces of Ukraine how to fight for us and how we can play football, how we can analyze our matches, how we can practice, and most importantly, how we can live in our country. A low slope for all the landowners and landowners of Ukraine!

Just before Epicenter debuts in Premier League, you know, I’ll repeat myself in a sing-song voice, but our missions haven’t changed. When we emerged as leaders, winners of the First League, we were selected from the team and were given one task - to gain a foothold with Premier Lisa.

Not to survive, but to gain a foothold for the coming season, since we already understand that the UPL, Epicenter and further progressed and were already fighting for a specific place. For now there’s only one thing left to do - get a foothold with Premier Lisa.

It was especially difficult for me to adapt, but for the players and coaches, I think, it was not easy. The intensity of the game, the intensity of the liquids, the thoughts... The First League is not comparable to the Premier League. Especially the last match with Shakhtar showed that we still need to add fluidity, the work with the ball, the fluidity has a praiseworthy solution.

And I clearly understand that we don’t have enough liquidity. If football stands still, there will be no result. Only active football and speed can bring victory.

As soon as respect is given to the club, then, of course, it will always be accepted. I want to thank all the patients for their encouragement, and we are playing for them. I, if we look at the statistics, the broadcasts for the participation of Epicenter have gained a large audience and our team is behind this display.. And after all the matches, we are in fourth place in the official unofficial ranking.

Once we know the numbers that are different from the home games, we decided to take a different position. Such interest only stimulates further development. You still need to practice, practice and practice.

There is no special secret. I think our path can be repeated, be it a command, if there is a clear focus on it. If there is a correct selection of the coaching mindset, if the coaches select the players properly, if we set realistic goals and will always change those that we expect. Then the result will come. I think this is the key to success.

The shocks are taken seriously in the first place. But I know how to train in football and how to prepare for training. I have always believed and believe in those who were able to come without fail. And without defeats one never wins. That's all right. Skin damage is proof.

Maybe someone is still alive, but the last match I remember the most is when we lost to Shakhtar near Lvov. I understand where we need to go and what we need to overcome.

Every time, when I get to the dressing room, I want to encourage the football players so that the stench doesn’t hang their heads every time. I, so that these stink lesions are removed, as evidence. I’ll repeat it again - you can’t win without defeats.

I believe that the team will show good football, and our fans will be even more active in supporting the Epicenter. Praises that football players and coaching staff have already gained enough. “And it is obligatory that this evidence and the work that was carried out in the team will give its results,” said the Ukrainian functionary.

We guess that earlier the head coach Sergei Nagornyak beat the Kamyanets-Podilsky Epicenter.
