The President of Dynamo Kyiv, Igor Surkis, commented on the 2-1 victory over Rukh in the 30th round of the Ukrainian championship.
Igor Surkis- Today we watched our youth and the guys who did not play. They fought with great dignity. "Rukh needed to win or draw, but that's football, and I'm very pleased with the guys who came out today. They fought and played football, no one gave anything to anyone. The game should be unpredictable, although there were different conversations, the guys played and did their best. I thanked them, told them to have a good rest and to continue working from the new season.
- What are your impressions of the season in general?
- We have to divide the season into two parts. We failed in the first part, and in the second part, Shovkovskyi managed to stabilise the game, and the team played very good matches. And we did not lose to Shakhtar in a game. But it happens, you need to take points not between each other, but in all matches, because you get three points for winning all matches. We will progress next season, I have no doubt about that.
- How would you assess Oleksandr Volodymyrovych's work?
- We can judge by the results: two draws for the whole time. He works very hard: both psychologically and physically, the team is ready. Today's match proved it. The guys could have already been resting, but we managed to tune them up - it was very difficult, as Oleksandr will confirm.
- Which Rukh players have you noticed?
- There are good players, a lot of them, but they are very young and need to progress. What Hryhorii Kozlovskyi is doing - I am very grateful to him for that. He brings up young people, good young people who will play not only for Rukh, but also for the national teams. The infrastructure and school here are very good. I think this team has everything ahead of it.
