It must have been 100 times harder for them. It was only thanks to their willpower that our championship began in the summer. Without their victories at the front, there was no football and life in Ukraine. I want to say thank you to our soldiers. And we, the players, will help them in any way we can.
- This year, Dynamo had not only labor victories, but also significant defeats. There was a lot of criticism from fans. How did you and your partners manage to deal with this?
- I think that this time football is fading into the background. The most important thing is that all teams stay afloat. I would like professional teams not to disappear. All presidents who finance teams are having a very hard time right now. I think that strong teams will enter the Premier League from the first league. And the result will come when peace comes. And at least we were not tormented by anxiety.
- In terms of play, Dynamo is coming out of the crisis. Still, your team began to score points regularly?
- Hard to say. On February 22, we arrived from the training camp, we had plans. And on the 24th of February it all started. Now we understand that it is very difficult to plan something. We beat Metalist, which is what we wanted to do. Tomorrow we will wake up, and if everything goes well, then we will plan the next day.
