Already after the first transition games for the right of the next season to play in the first league was virtually eliminated from the agenda of the winners of the round.

And by and large, match-answers have become a very common formality. Except that Metallurg's footballers, having won in Volochysk with a minimal score, at least somehow rehabilitated for a crushing home defeat. At the request of the official website of the UAF, the leaders of the winning clubs shared their impressions of the transitional matches.

Oleksandr Kyryliuk (Cherkasy Academy):

- It is necessary to pay tribute to my wards, who at the most crucial moment, after the unfortunate defeat in the final match of the group tournament from "Veres", in the fights with "Sumy" acted harmoniously, showed everything they can and deservedly rose in class. First of all, our advantage in physical training became apparent, which allowed us to add momentum at key moments, to which the "citizens" were not ready.

But you should never rest and think about new trials. Especially since not only me, but also five players have expired contracts. And this is very worrying, because the Cherkasy Academy has a very short bench, because the entire burden of the struggle was borne by 12-13 performers. Therefore, it is necessary to seriously strengthen. It is also still unknown where Cherkasy-Academy will host rivals, as the lawn at the stadium in Bilozir'ya is artificial, and according to the regulations, it is forbidden to play in the first league.

Andriy Donets (Agribusiness):

- Our convincing victory in the first match in Zaporizhia should not have been misleading. Metalurh is a qualified, capable team, simply, unlike the opponent, we realized almost all our goal moments. It is important that my wards did not relax and took a very responsible approach to the return match. And although in an equal struggle we lost, but with the score that suited us. In my opinion, it was the experience gained in the first league that helped us avoid problems with ambitious "metallurgists" and keep our residence permit. Now you need to work carefully on the mistakes. I hope that in the future we will do without nervous losses in the transition matches. Especially since the club management is doing everything to make us progress.
