Mykola Nesenyuk: "Dynamo has been my life since 1964"

The famous journalist Mykola Nesenyuk wrote about his "second life" on his Facebook.

It started in the summer of 1964. I was six years old then. A football match was being broadcast on a small black and white TV screen. Spartak Moscow hosted Dynamo Kyiv in a cup match. The game ended in a draw. Post-match penalty kicks had not yet been invented, so the teams played again. Ours won! That's right - ours!

From that day and forever, the life of Dynamo became my life. The second, which ran parallel to the first. Wherever and whoever I was, whatever I was doing, this life was with me. With home and away games, standings, football players and coaches.

It is surprising, but it was from that time, from the summer of 1964, that Dynamo Kyiv began to win. So far, the team has only become the champion once and won the cup only once. And after that game with Spartak, the victories came one after another, titles and trophies were won almost every year! It definitely couldn't have been done without my help! Because I was not the only one like that. I am sure that our energy was transmitted to the team and vice versa. In the first life, anything could happen, but in the second, together with Dynamo, we always fought for victory! From that ancient day until now!

I thought about all this yesterday when I was congratulated on my birthday, for which I am very grateful to everyone. Greetings reminded me how old I am. Not so much left... But this is in my first life. The second will always be! Well, is it happiness?
