Famous journalist and commentator Viktor Vatsko shared his expectations of the Ukrainian championship on Vayko Live.
Mykola Shaparenko"The UPL is back. Where are the sellers of football rights for 150 million? How many times have you talked about your future actions before the UPL resumes? Where are you all?
If we talk about the winter transfer window, it was quite calm. I can't say that anyone has dramatically improved their squad. Lviv has a new team. Rybka, Dytyatiev, Eseola have arrived. Dnipro-1 has no alternative to Dovbyk. "Shakhtar has no alternative to Mudryk, but they have a good team. Dynamo may have one top transfer - Shaparenko's return from injury. Oleksandriya has a new coach, new requirements and a focus on the national and youth teams. "Vorskla was prominent on the transfer market, but sold Riznyk and left their main defender.
"Before the start of the championship, I was betting on Dynamo, but things didn't work out for Kyiv. I don't want to say that it's unrealistic, because this is football and we love it for its surprises. I think Dnipro-1 and Shakhtar will be the main contenders for the championship. "Vorkla has a chance to join them. If you look at Dynamo's control matches, Kyiv look unconvincing, but how many times have they played with the optimal eleven? Therefore, I propose to watch the opening matches and at the end of March to write down the chances of the teams," said Vatsko.
