Director of the TV channels Football 1 and Football 2 Alexander Denisov commented on the words of the head coach of Dynamo Alexander Khatskevich.
After the match with Vorskla, Alexander Khatskevich directly said that Dynamo will play against Lviv on Saturday, and not Sunday, solely on the initiative of the translator, which is the channel "Football".
"The calendar of the championship is determined a few weeks before its start. It is formed by the Premier League together with clubs and broadcasters. Miner pre-booked his home game with Arsenal on Sunday (29/07) at 19:30. Also on Sunday we were forced to put the match Mariupol - Desna, as Mariupol on Thursday (26/07) plays the match of the qualification of the Europa League. All these details were agreed even before the start of the championship ".
"Then we signed a contract with FC Lviv on the broadcast of his home matches. In the second round of the channel, football will broadcast 5 matches out of 6. Given that on Sunday we have scheduled live broadcasts - Olimpic - Vorskla, Shakhtar - Arsenal and Mariupol - Desna, we will make two more matches in a live broadcast on Saturday, it's Alexandria - Zarya and Lviv - Dynamo.
"Dynamo appealed to the ULP with a request to postpone the match, since they believe that they are in unequal conditions with the Miner. The Premier League came to us with this question. We explained that technically we will not be able to broadcast Lviv-Dynamo on Sunday, since on this day we are already producing 3 matches and we have all the available PTS ".
"The Premier League decided not to postpone the match, especially since Saturday is the base day of the tour and there is no violation of the rules. Accordingly, no conspiracy influence of the channels Football on the Dynamo calendar is not, with the same success, Alexander Khatskevich could say that the channels Football influenced yesterday's downpour in Kiev and, accordingly, the quality of the game Dynamo, "summed up the director.
