The head coach of Krivorizky Krivbas Yuriy Vernydub risked his season with the debut of the 18-year-old Ukrainian top-ranked player Yaroslav Shevchenko, and this risk was completely true.
The young footballer won over 185 matches in four final matches of the “red and white” team in 2024, after which he shared his enemies with the beginning of his performances on the “adult” level.
“Without a doubt, I immediately felt the difference in the level of play, and even the rhythm and high speeds on the field tempt you to reach a new level. The boys of the first team play on a higher level than the junior team.
The most memorable is my first match against Obolon, as well as my debut in the UPL at the main warehouse. I remember all the details of this game, my emotions and experiences. Before that, I was lucky enough to give an assist. I also can’t help but see the match against another of our principled opponents - Polissya.
I started my career at MFC Kremin. Also grave in football clubs in Spain and Poland. One season - Shakhtari. My Tato brought me to the first training, so I’m tired of it, first for everything, for this way. My first coaches are Oleksandr Yankovsky and Oleksandr Zozulya. I was impressed by her professional robot. Through this I took the football straight.
Since I was at the DUFL Championship, our path has had a lot of obstacles: first COVID, then a full-scale war. I understand that no one since 2006 has been nominated for the DUFLU Ballon d'Or, including me. We all greeted Oleksandr Kamensky with a great victory: both the head team and U-19. This is a great trophy in his career, which shows the development of the young graver. The first Golden Ball for the Krivbas Academy, and it’s even cool!
The strength of the new Krivbas is in unity, and even eleven players play as one. What should we emphasize on the respect of many gravel members from other teams?. For example, football player Zori Michin said in an interview that the hardest opponent for them is Krivbas himself. Yes, our team plays as one. Well, it’s true that the power of Krivbas is in the unity of the graves.
Who else from U-19 can strengthen the main team I can’t comment, even though I’m not a coach.
In my opinion, all the boys have a chance, and at the same time, Yuriy Mikolayovich gave himself the opportunity to prove himself as a rich young driver in training with the head team. Kozhen Gravec with U-19 can earn a place with Krivbas.
Before taking a break from the championship, I want to improve both physically and psychologically. Gain strength for the winter and for the next part of the season. I also plan to spend an hour with my homeland and friends,” said the Ukrainian Vikon..
Shevchenko has five matches (195 matches) in the senior level this season.
