The head coach of Dnipro-1 Oleksandr Kucher reacted to the rumors that appeared in the media about possible ties between the referee of the match against Chornomorets (2-1) Dmytro Panchyshyn and the club's sports director Yevhen Krasnikov.

- The close relationship between the referee and one of your managers is not a secret...
- What kind of relationship? I do not understand...
- With Krasnikov. (Showing the phone) It was written here.
- This is the first I've heard of it.
- It's your first time, and we read what they send us, and there was such information.
- I can tell you one thing: I am, yes, a relative of Krasnikov. He baptised my child. And what you're saying is the first time I've heard about it.
