Valery Ivashchenko summed up the first part of the season.

Obolon coach Valeriy Ivashchenko lined his bags for the first part of the season.

" At the start of the championship, everyone said that Obolon, behind the bags of the first stake, would be here in the remaining place. We found out and brought our game to the point that the team can compete with others and achieve good results.

Not everything worked out in the matches, they could either lose or win, but it’s football. I have already said that there is a constant shortage of information, both to the coaching staff and to the gravers. So we have nothing to work on. I always want to climb the mountain, I think that our position is not a residual one.

We will all be able to work for ourselves, we will need to prepare clearly in order to gain a foothold in the tournament table.

With the start of the season, the goal will be consolidated in the top ten. I think this is a much more distant result, as for a team newcomer to the UPL. For this we need to work hard at the training camps that we planned to gain strength in the singing position,” Ivaschenko is quoted as saying by the official website of the Brewers..

After 16 games, Obolon scored 14 points and is in 13th place in the UPL standings.
