Pavlo Yakovenko

"Yesterday near his office on Saksaganskogo, I met Pasha Yakovenko—one of the best players not only of that star line-up of Kyiv "Dynamo" from 1986 but also of world football, I do not shy away from this loud word.

Unfortunately, I had little free time, but with great respect for him and eagerness, I talked for half an hour with this great master. Few know that he has suffered a serious illness, his speech has not fully recovered, but he is a true brave man!"

I wish you good health, my friend!”—wrote Kovalovich on his Facebook page.
