When we came to Dynamo, I immediately said: "Mykolayovych, we need to take him. Let him be in the first team". We took the young man - and here's the result. But no one remembers who gave him the path to big football and under which coach he got into the first team. That's what we need to talk about.
And now Mykolenko plays in the Premier League at a fairly high level for a good team. I believe that this is the strongest league in the world. Vitalik is a quality footballer, a good and decent person. He has a great future," Shatskikh said.
