Today, November 22, President Dynamo celebrates his birthday. On this day, he talked with the club’s press service about Dynamo’s work with young players and the club’s role in preparing soccer players for various teams..

“For many years we have been taking seriously the prestige and authority of Ukrainian football in the world. We train and educate football players who then represent our country in teams of various age groups. We will not delve into history, I think that everyone remembers how many players Dynamo prepared for our teams. Let's go through what we have now, "

" Dynamo are constantly represented in the team led by the pupil of our club Andriy Shevchenko. Vitaly Mikolenko is the main left back, Viktor Tsygankov has played several strong matches, his excellent performance was the key to a key victory over the Serbian national team "

“Sergey Sidorchuk, Vladimir Shepelev, Nikita Burda, Artem Besedin, Vitaliy Buyalsky played their role in the team. Let's not forget that now Dynamo is represented in the national team by Alexander Karavaev "

Surkis also remembered Roman Yaremchuk, who at this stage of his career represents the Belgian Ghent.

" Yes, he left Dynamo at a young age, but this transfer was an important step for him for further development. At our place, Roman did not enter the squad due to serious competition, but the club did not pickle him in a double or provide some frivolous playing time. We went to meet Yaremchuk and gave him the opportunity to develop elsewhere. Now he has scored in the national team and helped her qualify for Euro 2020 "

" Everyone knows and remembers how much effort the club put into its development, and the fact that it was in Dynamo that he grew up from a modest guy into a player of a continental scale..

The president of the Kiev club also celebrated not only the national team, but also youth.

" The basis of the team was made by our guys and Shakhtar players. Both Dynamo and the Donetsk club are working to grow quality football players who bring success to our national teams. Sergey Buletsa, Georgy Tsitaishvili, Denis Popov, Vladislav Supryaga - all of them played an important role in the victory of the U-20 team. At any moment, our Vlad Kucheruk could replace Lunin.. Without these guys, it was hard to count on the ultimate success. "

" U-19 team qualified for the finals of the European Championship elite round. Of the 15 players who took part in the victory over the Swedes, seven represent Dynamo, and another one on our contract, but plays on loan. That is, of the 15 players in the U-19 team, eight represent Dynamo, and this team gives the result!

" The education of talented youth is one of the club’s development priorities. Dynamo players are represented in all age categories, we have always respected and understood what is needed for the national teams of Ukraine. "

However, Surkis believes that the Ukrainian Football Association does not value the work of clubs.

" They give all their strength when they play for the national teams, we always go towards our Ukrainian teams, and what we get in return? And in response, representatives of the Federation (UAF, approx.. ) appropriated merit and laurels after the success of our teams. The Federation believes in all seriousness that they brought up the same world champions. That it was they who raised them from their boyhood, cured their injuries and invested in their development "

“Dynamo educates trained and motivated players for the national teams of Ukraine, and in response to the club’s leaders they’re not even invited to the matches of the national team. Okay, they don’t invite, here you can watch on TV. But after the victory of the U-20 team at the World Cup, even congratulations and gratitude to the club for the players prepared for the team cannot be sent... But I understand everything, people are very busy building football fields. They are building at such a pace that it will soon be impossible to drive — there will be only football fields around. Unless, of course, the country’s budget stands it "

“We maintain the infrastructure, pay salaries to players and coaches, create the most comfortable conditions for the progress of young football players, who then glorify our country throughout the sports world, and in response we see pettiness and a complete lack of respect.

People who haven’t invested a penny in the development of football in this country, but only made money on it, have already put on medals, written themselves certificates of honor, puffed out their cheeks and tell us what tremendous efforts they put into the success of our teams "

" Dynamo is more than just a football club pursuing its interests. We work not only for ourselves, but for all Ukrainian football. We are not just raising players for our first team, but are interested in the success of our national teams in the international arena, ”Surkis added..
