Ihor SURKIS: “There must be no politics in football”

- Did you like the game against FC Olimpik Donetsk? What do you think of newcomers?

- It was a typical game after winter break. Late in the match the team got tired. Anyway, we’ve won and gained three points.

- What can you say about the return of Ruslan Rotan?

- It takes some time to make conclusions. His experience will benefit the team as we perform in several competitions. I think we need such player as there’re a lot of youngsters in our lineup. They’ll be making headway next to him.

- Could you please tell about urgent loan move of Denys Boiko?
- We signed him as Bushchan got injured and Koval left the team. Khatskevych reacted immediately and we contacted Besiktas JK to sign loan agreement with Boiko. We’ll see what happens after the season ends. Maybe he’ll stay with us.

- They were saying Shabanov was supposed to sign a contract with FC Zoria Luhansk…

- He was supposed to, but our coaches said we need him. He’ll have a chance to approve himself.

- What was the trial concerning Mariupol case like?

- I think from the point of view of the law our position is perfect. The trial lasted 13 hours. I guess the verdict will be announced soon. I’m still sure that truth is on our side.

- The FFU president and chief secretary opposed Dynamo in the trial. On the other hand they’re shocked that the first vice president and the member of executive board opposed them…

- There’re decent people and there’re people, who came to football accidentally. I think those who witnessed in favor of FC Dynamo Kyiv have done a lot for football. For example, Bandurko and Kochetov. There were times, when Ukrainian football gladdened millions of fans and gathered thousands of supporters at our stadiums. That was their desert, not the desert of people, why try to make politics of football today. There must be no politics in football. Every club must be treated equally. They rendered the decision concerning Mariupol case very quickly, but what about Palkin who said that referee must be beaten? This is the “professionalism” of our football federation. We know Mariupol played a fixed match a couple of years ago. What about that? People want to know.
