Head coach of Bukovina Sergey Shishchenko commented on the victory over Podillia (2:0), which allowed his team to secure the championship against Pershaya Liza..
“I have never been a champion before, without winning a championship title, so this is an incredible emotion. These are the things that are so important to convey in words - they need to be lived. I am so grateful to the boys, to the club, to all the workers for the work we have been victorious from. Those who became champions are a historic achievement for the club and for the place. We recently secured a ticket to the Ukrainian Premier League, and now we have become pre-string champions, and this, of course, adds special emotions.
It’s hard to describe in words right away. Of course, I would like to formalize the championship at home, in front of my patients, but it so happened that it’s a holy day at Khmelnytskyi. At the same time, today we were supported by our patients who came to the field, and I want to warmly acknowledge them, like everyone else who supports the team throughout this season.
We will always dominate the field, control the ball and act aggressively. We also played against Podill to win, and even wanted to secure the championship today - and we didn’t get it. After we took the lead, people began to play in the singing sections of the match. At certain moments the initiative passed to the opponent, but there was a sign of decision. We realized that the army is overpowering us and that the championship is already very close.
The first goal is always of great significance, and even adds specialness. In addition, after missing the ball, the opponent will open his mouth and move forward. We understand that Podilla is now facing a difficult situation that he also needs to overcome. We also realized that the stinks would move forward and would be absorbed. As you already scored, we scored another ball on the counter attack.
What is the main secret to success This is a comprehensive robot. We really wanted to go to the UPL, but we realized how important it is for the place and for the club. We believed that we were strong enough, and in every skin match we played to win.
The football team, the coaching staff, and all the employees of the club worked hard to achieve this result.. This very strong meta and this faith encouraged us to jump forward and overrun every match in order to get a ticket to the elite division of Ukraine, and also become champions,” the club’s press service quotes Shyshchenko as saying..
After 26 rounds, Bukovina, which has never lost to the championship, scored 72 points, which is 18 points more than Chornomorets, who has a group in reserve.
