Journalist and commentator Ihor Tsyhanyk revealed that the legendary coach of Kyiv’s Dynamo, Valeriy Lobanovskyi, wanted to see the forward of Donetsk’s Shakhtar, Oleksiy Bielik, in his team.

"Bielik was a bright forward, a great football player with an amazing shot. Foreign clubs were interested in him, and Lobanovskyi also wanted him at that time. But my opinion is: Bielik and Vorobei created conditions in Donetsk where they didn’t want to leave. They were kings there. They had great salaries, the public loved them. And it was hard for them to pull themselves out of there,” Tsyhanyk stated on the air of his author's YouTube channel.
