In an interview on the YouTube channel Vechir, the famous Ukrainian artist Bohdan Beniuk shared his memories of how Dynamo Kyiv started to have a lot of foreign players.
- Suddenly, there was only one player with a Ukrainian surname left in the club, and all the others were invited from all over the world. At that time, some reporters came to me and asked me to wish the Dynamo players something before the match. And I said, "Are you going to show them my video? I speak Ukrainian, and those players don't even know what Ukrainian is. What can I wish for them? What is this my Dynamo Kyiv? No way! Dynamo put me off football back then. But there is the national team," the actor said.
