- The Polish championship is often set as an example for the development and borrowing of ideas for the Ukrainian one. What aspects of the UPL can be borrowed?

— We also had a great championship in 2013-14. And now - for whom do they play football at all?

- For the fans.

- Yes. And when you see that two dogs have run through the stadium and 8.5 people are sitting with a cat... Well, do you want to play? I didn't want to, really.

I remember those years in Dnepr when you come and there is no place to sit down. Bliss. You think: “Listen, so they probably came for you, they are wasting their time so that you show something.” And you're like, "Why not?" That's cool.

In Poland it is. There are full stadiums. And interestingly, the stadiums are like I'm coming somewhere to the Camp Nou. 90% of them are top.
