In the course of this season, the FFU withdrew three points from Dinamo for failing to meet with Mariupol, which later Kiev unsuccessfully tried to protest in the Lausanne court.
According to the president of the Ukrainian Football Federation Andrei Pavelko, his organization "fought" is not against the Dynamo, but against the management of the capital's club.
"In general, it's a bad story that the Football Federation is allegedly fighting with Dynamo. But we are not at war with Dynamo. I love Dynamo, I support this club, I respect, I'm friends with many players, with many coaches. It's not a dispute with Dynamo or against Dynamo ... "" This is a dispute of people who have different views on the development of football. One side of the dispute is covered by a shield Dynamo - it's ugly, because there are fans there, there are players. I myself am a fan of this club. I do not fight and do not argue with the team ".
"I argue with the management, with management, which for the first time in 90 years led to 3 points penalty. Many questions, but they are to management. I'm for Dynamo gnaw throat any enemy who will cross the road to the Dynamo fan, the Dynamo players and the club, "- said Pavelko in an interview with the publication of the Left Bank.
Earlier, the president of Dynamo Igor Surkis said that the team lost the gold of the Ukrainian championship to Shakhtar not because of failure to attend the match with Mariupol.
