Dynamo Kyiv President Igor Surkis commented on the team's unsuccessful streak.
Igor Surkis (photo: fcdynamo.kiev.ua)- These three defeats from Benfica and Dnipro-1 are like some kind of pit (interview was recorded before the game with Zorya - ed.). This has happened to other coaches before in the history of Dynamo. And I didn’t need someone to say at the same time whether this is the last game or not. In case of serious failures, I very easily parted with the coaches and immediately changed them.
As for Mircea Lucescu, I think he made an emotional statement. Maybe in this way he wants to cheer up the team so that they understand that he does not hold on to his salary, but works for the image of Dynamo in order to raise them to a qualitative level. Which he managed to do, but this level must be maintained, not lowered. He considers it his shame.
If it had not been during the war, then our football players would have had a different conversation. I hope that they will quickly pick up their heads and understand that, compared to those who are now fighting at the front, they live in comfortable conditions and must clearly do their job. So that those who are fighting for us today feel at least some support. And among these guys who give their lives, there are many of our fans.
Therefore, our players cannot enter the field like that. You can lose - it's a sport. But they should be applauded even after losing matches. Therefore, I believe that Mircea's words are more of an emotion. I did not doubt for a moment that he would continue his work. He has the spirit of a winner - he won't just leave. He didn’t put a bullet in football,” said Igor Mikhailovich Tribune.
