Vice-president of "Polissya" Volodymyr Teslya spoke about the plans of the president of the Zhytomyr club, Gennadiy Butkevych.

"Our president lives for football and does everything for the development of the team. Gennadiy Vladyslavovych wants Zhytomyr region to be the Mecca of Ukrainian football. And knowing his fanaticism, it is only a matter of time. We have made many fields in Zhytomyr schools, but our president wants every school to have a football pitch, so we are working," said Teslya.

As Sport.ua has learned, Kryvbas defensive leader Danylo Beskorovainyi will become a player of Polissia after the season.

According to the source, the clubs have reached an agreement, and the player has agreed on personal terms. The only thing left to do is to pass a medical examination.

The transfer is estimated at around €1.5 million. In addition, there are bonuses for qualifying for European competitions. The footballer's salary in Zhytomyr will be approximately 30-35 thousand euros per month, which is three times more than it was in Kryvyi Rih.

Another contender for Beskorovainy was Lviv's Karpaty. But the Zhytomyr team offered better personal conditions for the player and the club.

This season, Danylo Beskorovainyi has played 24 matches for Kryvbas, scoring 3 goals.

Dynamo Kyiv midfielder Mykola Shaparenko has been recognised by the visitors of Dynamo.kiev.ua as the best player in Oleksandr Shovkovskiy's team following the results of the match of the 29th round of the Ukrainian championship with Kryvbas.

60% of fans gave their votes for Shaparenko. The second position in the poll was taken by defender Denys Popov (11%).

Forward Egor Tverdokhlib was recognised as the best player in the Kryvbas squad - he got 31% of votes.

Former Dynamo goalkeeper Denis Boyko, now playing for Polesie, commented on the victory of the absolute world heavyweight champion and his teammate Oleksandr Usik over Tyson Fury.

"The best! World champion! Bravo, striker!" - wrote Boyko on his page in the network Instagram.

We will remind, earlier there was information that Usik can still debut for "Polesie", taking the field in the match of the last round of the championship of Ukraine.

On the night of 19 May, Ukrainian boxer Oleksandr Usyk (22-0, 14 KOs) fought for the title of absolute world champion in the super-heavyweight division against British boxer Tyson Fury (34-1-1, 24 KOs).

Metalist 1925 midfielder and captain Artem Gabelok told us what he thinks of his team's performance under their current head coach Viktor Skrypnyk.

"As we develop, so it goes. Because, of course, it takes time. We need the team to play together, for everyone to understand the tactical schemes. Still, the scheme we played from the beginning, when Skrypnyk first came in, was risky. We wanted to play a diamond, one-on-one, so we lost a lot of points.

Now we play a little differently. We started to change things a little bit and somehow gain points. We are not in a situation to risk losing a lot of points. Metalist 1925 is the last to go, so I don't know if we should have taken that risk, changed anything. But it happened as it happened," Ukrainian Football quoted Habelko as saying.

"I'm not sure it's a penalty. Not in terms of the offence, but the place of the offence. Yes, there was a minor push, but I think it was outside the penalty area. In my opinion, with such controversial moments should be given to play," - quotes Orekhov "Sport.ua".
