First League: adjustments are made to the championship calendar and Sumy is the most problematic team

A calendar meeting of the League Council took place in the conference hall of the Football House. The several-hour work of the PFL members turned out to be productive, and a number of important decisions were made.

First of all, the situation with the competition calendar in the spring part was considered. Attendees were offered changes regarding the four rounds in the first division. Thus, after discussion, it was decided that the 19th round will be moved from March 24 to March 22-23, the 20th round - from March 31 to March 27, the 23rd round - from April 17 to 18, 24 21st round - from April 15 to May XNUMX.

Also in the next three seasons, the teams of the first and second leagues will hold official matches with balls of the well-known brand Select. By the decision of the League Council, the official musical accompaniment of the masters' team competitions was approved. Its author is the famous composer Alexander Yagolnik.

Of course, the fans were interested in whether all the clubs would start the second part of the season. According to PFL President Serhiy Makarov, FC Sumy remains the most problematic. In the near future, the state of affairs in the team of the regional center will be analyzed at the meeting of the FFU SCC. All other football teams are functioning normally.

The league council also marked the best in the autumn part of the competition. In particular, Dnipro-1 received two team awards "Cup Spring" in 2019 - as a quarterfinalist of the Cup of Ukraine and as a team that most often hit the opponents' goal. By the way, Dmytro Mykhaylenko's wards are currently at a training camp in Turkey, where they have already played a control match against one of the strongest teams in Austria, Ridom, and lost 1: 2. The mentor was satisfied with the sparring, paying tribute to the opponent for intransigence. It is a pity that Orest Kuzyk, Oleksandr Nazarenko and Vadym Yavorskyi were eliminated for a long time due to injuries.

As for the other quarterfinalist of the cup tournament, Ingulets, Serhiy Lavrynenko's wards are stationed in Volodymyrivka, where they hold sparring matches at the club's base. At first, they won over Girnyk (Kryvyi Rih) - 2: 1, and on February 10 they signed a world match with a neighbor from the regional center, Zirka, - 0: 0. It should be noted that one of the Ingulets veterans, Yevhen Zaporozhets, who joined the team from Petrovo five years ago, extended his contract.

Volodymyr Mazyar, the new head coach of the Girnyk-Sport team, seems to be betting on experienced performers in his selection work. The first newcomers of the band from Horishni Plavny were Anton Kotlyar, known for his performances for "Stal", "Veres" and "Helios", and Volodymyr Shopin, who was remembered for his performance for "Cherkasy Dnipro". Mazyar's wards have already held two sparring matches, first drawing with the winner of the regional championship of Poltava region, "Olympia" - 0: 0, and then losing to the youth team of "Alexandria" - 1: 2.

Leonid Kuchuk, the new head of Rukh, is gradually filling staff vacancies. With three recruits from Galicia, Maxim Kalenchuk, Yuri Klymchuk and Brazilian legionnaire Leandro da Silva, his paths crossed at Stal from Kamyansky. It is not necessary to present goalkeeper Roman Mysak and striker Serhiy Petrov, who have experience of playing for Karpaty and Volyn, respectively. Another newcomer, Ruslan Marushka, is a pupil of FC Lviv, but last fall he played for Lithuanian Atlantas. And on February 10, two more Brazilians signed long-term contracts with Rukh - Sydney defender Silva Santos and midfielder Gabriel dos Santos Francisco. Leonid Kuchuk does not hide that he expects another half a dozen newcomers. Several players are currently watching and took part in the sparring in Vynnyky with Ternopil's Niva, which ended in a 2-0 victory for the hosts.

The Balkans also have no problems with holding control matches. Andriy Parkhomenko's wards with the same score 2: 0 overcame the youth team of "Chornomorets" and the Moldavian "Petrokub", and here to one more command from the next country, "Sperantsi", conceded - 0: 1. And although there are two more stages of preparation ahead, the Balkan manager has already practically decided on the performers who will represent Zorya in the spring part of the first league championship.
