His life was indissolubly related to FC Dynamo Kyiv. Our club owes the Maestro so much.
On the sunny morning his family, friends and Dynamo performers of different generations gathered in front of the monument to Lobanovskyi located next to Dynamo Stadium colonnade.
The White-BluesAcademy trainees and veterans came to lay flowers and pay tribute to the legend. Some call Lobanovskyi their mentor and some used to feature alongside him…
Andriy Biba, Anatoliy Suchkov, Vitaliy Khmelnytskyi, Volodymyr Muntian, Volodymyr Bezsonov, Volodymyr Troshkin, Leonid Buriak, Olexiy Mykhailychenko, Pavlo Yakovenko, Yuriy Dmytrulin, Vitaliy Kosovskyi, Vladyslav Vashchuk, Ihor Kostiuk and others were present at the meeting.
Counter-terrorism operation warriors were also there just like Kyiv mayor Vitaliy Klychko.
One can always see a lot of flowers in front of the monument to Valeriy Lobanovskyi.
This day there were even more.
Some people choked back tears – not only relatives of great coach like his daughter Svitlana, but also those, who got acquainted with football due to Lobanovskyi. Volodymyr Bezsonov presented soldiers with flag with “Nobody but us” inscription on it. The flag was signed by Dynamo former and current performers. Warriors also gave Kyivans a big flag of Ukraine with compliments on it.
Valeriy Lobanovskyi will always live in hearts of people, who know him.
