The former playing sports director of "Minaya" Mykhailo Kopolovets left a grudge against the then coach of the Transcarpathian team Vasyl Kobin.
— When a 120-kilogram freak says that I don't pull - you're sorry. I got up for weigh-ins with the young guys and didn't miss a single training session, and Kobin released me in the last UPL round... The guys trusted me because I was inside, solving problems and tasks. This gave a big boost to football players. During the independence of Ukraine, no team went from amateurs to the elite in five years. I wanted to play in all divisions of the championship of Ukraine, Mykhailo said on Sport Arena TV.
