- Premier League has decided to divide 14 teams into three groups at the second stage doesn’t mean that it will happen this way. Football Federation of Ukraine Executive Committee is still to render the decision. Their choice will demonstrate whether people, who represent this body, know what they vote for or they just work for someone. The formula we’ve been offered is wrong!
Imagine that some team is fifth in standings after the first round lacking a couple of points behind the fourth place. What will this team struggle for after that? And what if after 26 matchdays the leader will be beyond opponents’ reach?
We can’t turn our league into clownery! Dynamo voted for the Ukrainian Premier League traditional format.
I think such decision can’t be made without proper discussion. We must know what we change the usual format for. They say that for the sake of bigger number of matches between leaders, but are you sure that FC Dynamo Kyiv, FC Shakhtar Donetsk, FC Metalist Kharkiv and FC Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk will be leaders after 26 matchdays?, - informed Ihor Surkis www.sport-express.ua
