In the central match of the 28th round of the Ukrainian championship, Shakhtar Donetsk defeated Dynamo Kyiv to become the country's champion ahead of schedule. Jozsef Szabo, Honoured Coach of Ukraine and former coach of Dynamo Kyiv, admitted that he was unable to watch the game between the two best teams in Ukraine.
Jozsef Szabo- "Unfortunately, I was unable to watch the Shakhtar vs Dynamo match because there is no UPL TV channel. I tried to call everywhere, but they cut me off. I have MEGOGO, where I watch everything. But there is no UPL TV. I was ready to pay, I called. But they said that the cable was not installed at my address. So... I don't know where to turn. I know that the result of the match is 1-0 in favour of Shakhtar.
- Were you surprised by this result?
- No, at the beginning of the championship I predicted that Shakhtar would become the champion again and Dynamo would be second. But I wish Shovkovskyi to challenge Shakhtar next season. I believe that he can grow into a great coach because he has all the qualities to do so. But no matter how great a coach is, you also need players, and it is difficult to win the championship with young people alone. And it is necessary to look for strengthening not within the UPL, but in other championships. Otherwise, it will be difficult to compete with Shakhtar in the international arena.
