The head coach of Lugansk "Zarya" Yuri Vernidub commented on the situation with Nikita Kamenyuka, whom the club banned from playing against himself in the match with "Veres".
Vernadub often criticized Shakhtar for the same reason, when Zarya leased their players.
"I was ready for the rented to play. But, unfortunately, when we talked, none of the coaches supported me. All were silent. All suited everyone. Look at how many Kamenyuk played matches in the championship of Ukraine. For 300 already? Virtually all the games he spent on "Zarju". 6 years was the captain of our team. If we were allowed, then he himself could not go on the field.
How can you go on the field against your team, in which you have been captain for so many years? This is an experienced player. It's another matter if I take a football player, for example, Maxim Malyshev from Shakhtar-3, whom no one knows and he is 19 years old. I take Lunev and the other guys who were born in 1998 or 1999. For some reason, other trainers do not take young ones, but take experienced ones who know how to play and how to do something.
There was a lease contract, which "Veres" also signed. Hence, there was something agreed. It was necessary to negotiate at the level of presidents or general directors.
I'm a supporter of him playing. But there is a president and CEO.
Is this the decision of the CEO? No. This is the terms of the lease agreement. It was necessary to pay the same amount that Shakhtar once told us and Nikita would play. Your club did not want to do this. Plus, Nikita, as far as I know, we pay most of the salary, "- said the coach after the game.
"Dawn" won "Veres" with a score of 1: 0 and climbed to the third place in the standings of the ULE.
