The former midfielder of Kyiv Dynamo, Oleksandr Aliyev, commented on his arrival at the PROFAN media league club.
Oleksandr Aliyev. Photo — Yu. Yuriev— How did your transfer to PROFAN happen? How did the negotiations go?
— Everything is actually simple. The guys called, we talked to them. It was a very long time ago. There was just no time earlier.
— In one of the recent interviews, you said that Ukrainian football is gradually dying, while media football is developing. What made you draw such a conclusion?
— There are a lot of bloggers playing in the Media League, it is getting a lot of coverage. It is watched a lot on Instagram and TikTok. The UPL is not covered as much. Yes, we know many, there are football people.
I want the Media League to develop in Ukraine. Yes, we understand perfectly that we are at war, but the Media League is held so that we can help the guys. We organized such matches, there were broadcasts, people donated, and we delivered what the guys needed. That’s the most important thing.
— You attended the match between Obolon and Dynamo on Saturday. What do you think of the level of the teams?
— Well, it is evident that Dynamo is two heads stronger than Obolon. This is clear to the naked eye. Well, that’s our championship for now.
— Many people attended this match. Do you like that spectators can now go to football?
— Of course, I’m all for people coming to watch football. I’m all for it.
— This week, there will be a “classic” between Dynamo and Shakhtar. Do you have any predictions for the game?
— For now, I can’t say anything. Let the European Cups play, and afterward, it will be Dynamo vs. Shakhtar.
