Zorya Luhansk defender Bohdan Butko told us what he thinks about the competition in the Ukrainian league this season.
Bohdan Butko"I would say that our championship has become more equal, judging by the first games. The teams are just getting into the season. But look, even Shakhtar are losing points. However, it is already clear that Shakhtar is definitely the main contender for the championship. It is the favourite of the tournament.
Who can compete with them? Everyone says Dynamo. We'll see. When Dynamo play the three postponed games, it will become clear whether they will be competitive or not. Although the distance is still long for all teams.
As for the other clubs, Dnipro-1 has the same story as us: a change of coach, a rebuild. It is not clear what will happen there. I'm happy for Kryvbas. The team Vernydub built is feeling very good right now. "Chornomorets scored a lot of points in the first games, and then had two losses. It is not known what will happen with the Odesa team, especially since it is not clear what is going on with the club president.
Rukh impressed at the start, the team started the league well. Perhaps at that stage, the Lviv team was better prepared than the others. But if they have already scored so many points, then we can say that they are a combat-ready unit," Ukrainian Football quoted Butko as saying.
