Kyiv Dynamo u-19 defender Taras Mikhavko commented on the youth team's championship, which was officially confirmed after yesterday's 5-1 away victory over Rukh u-19.
- You became a champion, so to speak, in your native land. What emotions do you feel?
- Of course, only positive ones. The guys were tuned in to every game, everyone wanted this championship. Thank God, we came out and proved that we are the best youth team in Ukraine. It is also doubly gratifying that we managed to win the championship in our native land. Congratulations to everyone!
- Today was a convincing victory, but do you agree that the end of the season was tense?
- Yes, there were tough games, because every team tune in to Dynamo as much as possible. Therefore, of course, we understood that if we did not beat our direct rival, Shakhtar Donetsk, the championship would be lost. That's why we got together with the guys, talked, and, as you can see, we became champions.
- For four years, Dynamo had not been a champion. Can we say that the title has finally returned to Kyiv?
- I think everyone is happy that after a long pause we finally managed to become champions. Everyone is happy, everyone is in a positive mood, and it is doubly gratifying that we managed to win the championship against the strongest team in the last season.
