Everton coach Sean Dyche was named the Premier League's best coach in April.

This is the third award in his career for the 52-year-old. This time, Deitch was ahead of Michel Arteta and Josep Guardiola. In April, the Toffees won 13 points out of 18 possible. "Everton defeated Burnley (1-0), Nottingham (2-0), Liverpool (2-0) and Brentford (1-0). There was also a defeat against Chelsea (0:6) and a draw with Newcastle (1:1).

It is worth noting that Deitch managed to keep Everton in the English Premier League despite the club's double disqualification.

Renowned journalist Serhiy Tyshchenko talks about Dynamo U-19's chances of winning the youth championship after their 2-1 victory over Shakhtar U-19.

"After Dynamo's victory over Shakhtar in Shchaslyve, the Dynamo U-19 team needs 4 points in two rounds to win the championship. Now Dynamo have plus two points. Ihor Kostiuk's team won both head-to-head games - 2-0 and 2-1. Four points in two rounds will bring gold medals.

In the next round, Kyiv will play in Kryvyi Rih against Kryvbas, as the first game took place in Kyiv. I do not rule out that this game will be moved to Kyiv. Then we have a trip to the current champion Rukh. "Kryvbas is a strong mid-table side, while Rukh fell apart in the spring. If there is no sensation, Kyiv can win and not lose. Concentration, attention, motivation - there is no need to invent anything.

In reality, even one victory may be enough. Shakhtar have matches against Dnipro-1 and Kryvbas. I don't really believe they will win twice," Tyshchenko wrote on Telegram.

One of the so-called Ukrainian sports websites, calling itself "terrikon", has eloquently demonstrated its face.

This resource allowed itself to use a fragment of the author's material Dynamo.kiev.ua not only without a hyperlink, but without indicating the source at all - just publishing it as its own content, which can be admired on the attached screenshot.

The address of the publication: https://terrikon.com/posts/479852.

We are talking about a fragment of an exclusive interview of the head coach of the Ukrainian national team Serhiy Rebrov to our resource. In which, starting from the very title of the publication indicates that it is an exclusive. But this did not stop the "content generators" at all: they easily published a fragment of Dynamo.kiev.ua publication without any mention of the source.

P.S. We do not exclude that after this exposure the above publication will either be deleted or amended, but, as they say, "Google remembers everything".

As already reported, Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund will play in the final of the current season's Champions League. However, the German club on the eve of this meeting found itself in a rather savoury situation.

In case of victory in the final, Borussia will receive a prize money of 20 million euros from UEFA.

But in case of defeat, Dortmund will receive even more. The fact that in the transfer contract on the transfer from Borussia to Real Madrid of English midfielder Jude Bellingham means a clause according to which, if this footballer in the Madrid club will become the winner of the Champions League, Real Madrid will be obliged to pay Borussia a bonus of 25 million euros.

Lviv's Karpaty, who have already won the right to play in the UPL next season, have transferred three well-known players to the second team.

As Ostap Markevych, the assistant head coach of the first team, told the club's press service, Yuriy Romaniuk, midfielders Yegor Kartushov and Mykhailo Khromey have joined Karpaty-2.

Currently, Lviv have 51 points in the first league with Ingulets, but will play their current round match against Mariupol tomorrow.

Shakhtar U-19 head coach Oleksiy Bielik commented on the 1-2 loss to Dynamo U-19 in the 28th round of the Ukrainian Youth Championship.

- "In general, I am satisfied with everything except the result, but this happens when you are constantly on the ball and actually do not allow the opponent to create almost anything, and they take advantage of the moment at the first opportunity. "Dynamo U-19 is famous for the fact that it can suffer, playing with a low block, and then organise a quick counterattack. Yes, someone might say that, based on the standings, we should have played a low block and counterattacked, but that's not our style. Regardless of the coaches or players, Shakhtar Academy will always bring up bright individual personalities who will bring results.

We had injuries to Latsabidze, Udod and Drozd, who are the main players in the defence line, and young Sheleketa and Kostyuk played in their positions, and they did a great job and shut down the best scorer in the youth championship. I'm completely satisfied with the game, and the defeat is probably all the more offensive. We outplayed the opponent in almost everything, played our football, controlled the ball, tried to create goal-scoring chances. Yes, we didn't create many opportunities, but there were options when we shot from mid-range, closed flank passes and hit the post. In fact, there was a lack of quality in the final phase of the attack and pre-goal passing, but this happens, and even the strongest teams in the world sometimes have problems when the opponent quickly rebuilds in defence and plays a low block.

I am proud of the way the team played and believe that the players gave their best, only a goal was missing to get a positive result. I would also like to thank the players of the Shakhtar Academy of all ages and the fans who came to support us at the stadium. It motivated the team a lot," Belik was quoted as saying by Shakhtar's official website.

"Ingulets from Petrovo has secured a direct ticket to the Ukrainian Premier League today.

After a confident 3-0 victory over Agribusiness in the match of the 8th round of the championship group of the first league, Oleksandr Povorozniuk's club became unattainable for the pursuers in two game days of the tournament and joined Karpaty, who secured a ticket to the UPL earlier.

At the same time, the Petrivtsi team will still compete with the Green and Whites for the small gold medals. Both teams now have 51 points, but Lviv will play their match of the 8th round tomorrow.

As for the 3rd and 4th places, which will give the right to play with the UPL representatives in the transition games, they were secured by Livyi Bereh and Epicentr.

"Karpaty, who are returning to the UPL after a rather long break, want to see midfielder Orest Kuzyk, whose contract with Chornomorets Odesa expires on 30 June 2024, in their ranks.

Orest Kuzyk is a graduate of Lviv's Karpaty, was in the system of Dynamo Kyiv and managed to play not only for several Ukrainian teams, but also in Greece and Cyprus. He also has 8 matches in the Ukrainian national teams of different age groups.

It is worth noting that Orest Kuzyk is among the six potential newcomers that the Green and Whites are looking to strengthen in the summer transfer window.

Vyacheslav Zakhovailo, a well-known manager and expert, has made a forecast for the central match of the 28th round of the Ukrainian Premier League between Shakhtar and Dynamo.

"The Ukrainian Classic has a special status - the teams are playing for the UPL gold medals. With three rounds to go, four points behind? That's a lot, it will be very difficult for Dynamo to make up this difference. Yes, Shakhtar is the favourite of the match. But I believe that Kyiv will not lose. I'm betting on a draw," Zakhovailo said.
