The head coach of Kryvyi Rih’s «Kryvbas» Yuriy Vernidub commented on the crushing defeat of his team against Rivne’s «Veres» (0:3) in today’s match of the 18th round of the Ukrainian championship.

«I congratulate the city of Rivne and «Veres» on their victory. They deserved it. By the desire and level of determination they showed when they took the field — it was evident that they would fight for the win. We came out to play a different kind of football — academic. Such football will not work in the spring part of the season. This is my mistake. So, I ask not to blame the players.

All three conceded goals were childish mistakes. Especially the first one. There’s nothing even to comment on here.

Did the factor of moving the game from Kryvyi Rih to Rivne influence the result? We must be ready for this. In the first wartime championship, we couldn’t play in Kryvyi Rih at all. We played in Lviv, Kyiv, Uzhhorod. Therefore, this is not the main thing. If we want to achieve certain goals — we must fight for it.

We had a chance today, but we did not take it. Today we were slapped in one place. We need to analyze this match and strive not to repeat such mistakes,” — said Vernidub.

Forward of Luhansk "Zoria" Pylyp Budkivskyi spoke about his expectations from the Sunday match against "Oleksandriya" in the 18th round of the Ukrainian championship.

— It’s good that we’re starting straight away with the leader and we’ll check how well we prepared during the training camp. The weather is such that this game will come down to one goal, so it will all depend on who scores first.

Who are Zoria’s competitors in the spring part of the championship? Every team, definitely those that are above us. We foolishly lost points in matches against LNZ, "Kryvbas." Everyone is equal in the championship now, so it all depends on the team’s attitude towards the game and on the interaction and who gives more, — Budkivskyi’s words are reported by Sport News.

The head coach of Barcelona, Hansi-Dieter Flick, reacted to the conflict between Real Madrid and the official representatives of the refereeing body of the Spanish championship.

«It is very important that there are referees. What they are doing to the officials in Spain is incredible. I don’t like it. Think about their families. Both players and coaches should also defend them. I don’t like to waste energy attacking referees.

We have VAR, and we have to trust them. Everything has to change because referees are human, and making mistakes is normal. The federation must show its strength because it is important. Players and coaches also make mistakes, and we must protect them.

We are always looking for excuses. If we lose, it’s because of the referees, but that’s not true. We all make mistakes — me, you, even the referees. We must protect them because we cannot play without them. We must protect them. We must play better to win,» quotes Flick Mundo Deportivo.
