Honorary President of Dnipro-1 Yuriy Bereza, who is fighting on the front line as part of the Dnipro-1 battalion, addressed Ukrainian football players.
Yuri Bereza
“Thank God that the championship of Ukraine is held at all. I take my hat off to a country at war that can afford football at such a difficult time. But each of our football players and athletes must clearly understand that at any moment he can change the comfortable dressing room and field for a trench.
Therefore, when they represent our country at international competitions, we must give 100 percent, and not serve the number. Football is one of the platforms where you can turn to the world community and say that we are at war, we are being killed. Athletes are the ambassadors of our country in the world.
Therefore, today the players are the same soldiers, and if they do not want to play decently, then they must be ready to replace those guys who are now sitting in the trenches. Every centimeter of our land is liberated by Ukrainian blood shed by a Ukrainian soldier. If there is no Ukrainian state, then there will be no sports clubs and football. Don’t forget about it. Give thanks to our Defense Forces for every day you live. Glory to Ukraine!”, — quotes the words of Bereza “Ukrainian football”.
