Serhiy Starenkyi, Dinaz's game director, said that the Vyshhorod club was on the verge of extinction.
- "Consider us to have jumped into the last carriage of the train heading for the new season," says the head of Dinaz. "The Hamlet's question "To be or not to be?" was in the air until the last moment. I held numerous meetings with potential partners and sponsors, and eventually found people who agreed to lend a reliable shoulder to Vyshhorod football.
- And who are they? They said they were the former owners of Desna.
- The new investors have no connection with the Chernihiv club. The time will come and you will know everything. I can say one thing: thanks to these caring people, Dinaz will live on. They saved the team from death.
- Are the changes serious in the club and the team?
- Oleksandr Riabokon, who successfully worked with Borysfen and Desna, is in charge of the training process. Oleksandr Holovko remained at the headquarters and will assist Oleksandr Dmytrovych in his work. Vadym Soldatenko, who has been defending the colors of our team for the last couple of years, will take care of the goalkeepers.
- Did you leave a lot of players?
- Let's count them. Palamar, Serhiychuk, Martyniuk, Tkachuk, Rudavskyi...
- These are the gatekeepers. Are there any acquisitions?
- We will strengthen exclusively in certain areas. Oleksandr Ryabokon invited two players he had worked with before. These are Yevhen Chepurnenko and Vlad Ohirya.
- What is your fate? Will we see Serhiy Starenkyi on the field next season?
- Oleksandr Dmytrovych wants me to continue to help the team with my experience. I hope I will play again. Thank God, I have the strength and health. I also have enough motivation.
- What are the team's immediate plans?
- "We are preparing for the season in good conditions - in Bucha, we live in the Sampa complex. On the 20th, we plan to play Shakhtar U-19. And there is already the beginning of the season. A season of great expectations...
