There was no shortage of pessimists who said that Kremen's players would not start the spring part of the season due to financial problems. But they seemed to be wrong.

Although FC director Andriy Nedyak confirmed that last fall one of the sponsors stopped working with the club, the funds allocated from the city budget will still be enough to finish the championship.

In turn, Kremen's head coach Volodymyr Prokopinenko, who has recently started working on a permanent basis, said that his wards will make every effort to extend their registration in the first league. Although the manager does not hide that it will be very difficult to do so, because there are only six performers left from last year's lineup, and it will be necessary to create a new team in an emergency.

A whole group of potential newcomers has already arrived in Kremenchuk to watch the control match with amateurs from the Poltava Sports Complex, which ended in a draw - 1: 1. Next week, Flint will play two more sparring matches.

Meanwhile, the club selectors from the top of the standings are not sitting idly by. Experienced defender Maksym Bilyi from Luhansk Zorya joined the ranks of the leader, Rukh. Instead, Roman Nikitiuk and Dmytro Nemchaninov decided to get a job in other teams. Dmytro Sartina and Volodymyr Doronin, known for their performances for Mykolayiv and Olimpik, respectively, became the first winter newcomers to one of Lviv's pursuers.

By the way, on February 9, Rukh and Minay held a sparring match in Lviv. Unfortunately, the equal struggle did not work out. Already in the debut, the hosts forced the Transcarpathians to start from the center of the field three times. As a result, Vasyl Kobin's wards were defeated - 0: 6. Perhaps this defeat will help them to really assess their capabilities and, thus, will only benefit.

As for the Lviv team, after a spectacular victory in a great mood, they will go to the next stage of preparation for Turkey, where they will play eight sparring matches. The first, on February 16, - with the champion of Moldova, "Sheriff".
