President of Dynamo Igor Surkis told about the intention to organize a farewell match for the legendary players of Dynamo - goalkeeper Alexander Shovkovsky and midfielder Oleg Gusev.

In December 2016, Dynamo announced the parting with Alexander Shovkovsky and Oleg Gusev, who for many years faithfully worked for the benefit of the capital's team.

"Farewell match Shovkovsky and Gusev? We plan this. We need to agree on the dates and make a farewell match for Shovkovsky, Gusev, and many other guys who deserve it. We will make it. I would like to see him pass on a filled stadium, so that it does not look artificially, "Surkis said..

"Just at the time when all the Internet wrote that Shovkovsky is going to work at Dynamo headquarters almost as the head coach, we talked with him about it. He said that you need to think. He is ready for such a match. Naturally, this is our legend, we must conduct it and we will do it ".

"Unfortunately, as Francesco Totti saw off, we will not be able to hold Shovkovsky. There are no such matches in the championship of Ukraine, unfortunately. Even Dynamo-Shakhtar matches do not collect full stadiums today. Such a time, it needs to be lived through, "- summed up the president.
