Head coach of Kryvbas Yuriy Vernidub spoke about football in the hour of war.

Krivbas is forced to hold European Cup matches outside the border. Zokrema, match with Viktoria Pilsen will be held in Slovakia. Head coach of Kryvbas Yuriy Vernidub appreciates that any matches were held in Krivoy Rozi, which would cause an incredible sensation.

“We are already busy with sick patients, and this is a great shortcoming for us. At wartime there may be more than 500-600 spectators in the stands, so there is a place for everyone in the shelters. It's a pity, but it's needed. A lot of shelling often hits Krivyi Rih. Since we don’t have 10-12 sirens, the day is moving away. We rang out and trained under the lilacs with rockets. The graves are looming with masculinity. We can all take risks - what is life like?.

Much of the game was interrupted by the remaining two seasons. In Travna, our match against Polissya was interrupted in the first half and ended the next day. Football still brings joy to people and it gives us additional motivation. We do everything we can for our patients and our nation. The selection for the group stage of the European Cup at Krivoy Rozi will be unmistakable.

It may be more complex, less iz Zorya, but I am sure that we will fit even better. Given the situation, we have a lot of good foreigners. We have a very good training base. The citizens live there and do everything necessary so that they can concentrate on football,” Vernidub said in an interview with The Guardian.

The vice-president of the Kryvorizk club previously commented on the results of the draw. It is expected that the first matches of the 3rd round of qualification will take place on the 8th round, while others are scheduled for the 15th.
