President of Zhytomyr Poliss Gennady Butkevich commented on the remaining successes of his team in the UPL, and also shared his thoughts on future reforms in the UAF judicial corps.
" In the first season in the UPL we were fifth. Last season - quarters. Now we can earn one more money ahead. This is confirmation that the club is collapsing in the right direction.
Medals for the Ukrainian Championship - this could be a historic achievement for Zhytomyr and an important stage in the development of the club. The football players, the coaching staff, and the entire club gave their best to the great work. In football, you need to grab points at the end of the season. So now our goal is to successfully play the final two matches of the season.
I hope that the working group can propose a clear version of reform for Ukrainian football. Polissya needs transparency and a fair system of justice for everyone, and not the loyalty of arbitrators to Polissya.
Our remaining game has great doubts about the penalty that was assigned at the gate to the Epicenter on the Poliss's score. The decision of the arbitrator further confirms: reform of arbitration in Ukraine is both terminological and vital,” the club’s press service quotes Butkevich as saying..
Two rounds before the end of the season, Polissia scored 55 points and is in third place in the UPL tournament table, ahead of LNZ by two points and ahead of Dynamo by one point.
