Commercial Director of Dnipro-1 Vyacheslav Fridman commented on the information that Andriy Rusol is leaving the Dnipro club to join Karpaty.
- Vyacheslav Yevhenovych, there is new information that Rusol has left Dnipro-1. This time they say that he went to the Carpathians. Is it true?
- Rusol is not in the office right now, so I will answer him through the press. I'm tired of persuading him not to move anywhere, let him go where he wants. We have an agreement that if Rusol moves to Karpaty, Dario Srna will take his place. Therefore, Dnipro-1 will not lose anything.
- And if you're serious?
- Seriously, I'll answer this way. Any joke is good if it is told once. If you make a joke twice, I mean the situation with Rusol, then it's already a bad manners, or as people say: "Baden-Baden". If Tribuna wants to turn into the yellow press, it is doing its job perfectly and is making giant strides towards this goal.
- The Tribuna also wrote that some employees of the administrative headquarters of Dnipro-1 were to move to Karpaty.
- No one is going anywhere.
- But your former employee Hlib Kornienko is working at Karpaty, did you suddenly decide to lure him away?
- Hlib Kornienko didn't run away from us to Karpaty, it's just that our period of cooperation with him has ended. We terminated it by mutual agreement. Kornienko is a manager who is physically in Brazil and offers local players. Let Karpaty offer Brazilians, we don't need them yet.
- How much would you value Rusol if a club wants to lure him away?
- How can you value a person who is the founder and shareholder of a club? Rusol cannot work for another club and remain a shareholder of Dnipro-1. If we compare employees to goods without offence, Rusol is a "product" that is not for sale.
- Who do you think benefits from spreading false information about Rusol and why?
- I think it is beneficial to Dnipro-1's rival clubs, and we are not interested in finding out who exactly. It looks like they are afraid of us, and that's already saying something. It means we are on the right track.
