Miron Markevich: “How can Dnepr-1 have a connection with Dnepr? I don't know how it can be"

Honored coach of Ukraine Myron Markevich - about rumors regarding the connection between his former club - Dnipro, and the current representative of the PUL - Dnipro-1.

— Miron Bogdanovich, in your opinion, can there be a connection between Dnepr-1 and Dnepr?

- How can "Dnepr-1" have a connection with "Dnepr"? I don't know how it can be. I don't know all these laws. So for me, such a team created from nothing. Time will tell. I know that in order to revive Dnepr, all debts must be repaid.

— But Dnepr-1 uses the infrastructure of the former Dnepr.

- The fact that they play at that stadium and base is one thing, but this is a completely different team. It's hard to say.

- If, nevertheless, the connection between the clubs is proved, will you seek the return of your debts?

“If the connection is proven, I don’t need to demand anything. Everything has been decided long ago. Dnipro owes money not only to me, but also to 30 players. Nothing will need to be submitted.

— Have you filed lawsuits against Dnipro regarding wage arrears?

- All the players, including myself, filed complaints because we have not been paid money for a year. I don't know how true it is. It's hard to say anything right now. Maybe everything is clean. If not, then let UEFA investigate. We'll see how everything unfolds.
