“Today we have gathered, in order to win back the honors that we have been fighting for all last season, – gold medals for the Ukrainian Championship. I would like to greet everyone who has contributed to great success: football players, coaches, medical and administrative staff. Everyone who is very important day after day and working diligently for this result, who has achieved victory after victory and whoever deserves today’s gold medals..

Our head coach Marino Pusic and his coaching staff brought us to this championship. This is the first great achievement in Shakhtar, and I sing that it will not stop. I respect you, we have done a lot in front of us. And I want to make the new season even more successful.

Just like the president of our club, Rinat Akhmetov, this season we are responsible for holding the gold medal of the champions of Ukraine in our hands, so this color can be distinguished by Shakhtar,” said Palkin.
