Former striker of Kyiv “Dynamo” Maksim Shatskikh, who plays now in Uzhgorod “Goverla”, rejoices about the success of his former team managed by Serhiy Rebrov.

“We have good relations with Serhiy Rebrov. It’s just that now he is very busy, so we rarely see each other. Still, we try to talk regularly. He shows his work, all intermediate results are very good.

I think that everyone sees the work that he has done, it was very important to create a favorable atmosphere in the team. And the team is showing a decent, normal football: fast, reactive, effective. After all, they have not won the title for five years, I think they understand it. And in the spring, they will probably make every effort to win gold medals” – the “Bolelshchyk” quoted Shatskikh.
