Kiev Obolon beat Lviv Rukh in the home match of the eighteenth round of the Ukrainian Premier League.
Obolon - Rukh 1:0 Video of the goal and review of the UPL match After the completion of the game, the general director of the Brewers, Oleksandr Riznichenko, commented on the process of preparing the home stadium before the game.
“To say what was going on for us in the first place - I can’t say anything. Lyuty, frosty - the stench of the skin of the river. Perhaps whose fate has a little more snow, and whose fate has passed.
One moment is blackout. We understand why it was so expected - there was a war in the end, the end of the world, so we understood that it would be an even greater problem for the preparation of the football field.
That’s why I approached the president, and the president decided to bring here a generator for an uninterrupted heating system for the football field. The dire situation that is developing, perhaps, is symbolic, but the generator was brought from Oleksandria - from one of our production plants, where we were stationed there.
Generator 1126 kW - this is a very tight generator. Why so much straining Because the field heating system has a power of 1008 kW. Therefore, primarily, in order to achieve the result of such effort, a generator would be brought in.
For equalization, this generator takes 250 liters of diesel fuel in one year. So you can judge for yourself what it cost the Obolon football club to prepare the field before the match.
We worked on the generator uninterruptedly for two years. Just today, before the match, we turned on the generator, and until the field we were pumped, because yesterday it was frosty at night, and we needed to get a lawn.
We have three generators at the stadium at once. The smallest - 130 kW. This is the generator we use, because we don’t need a field, we don’t need lighting - to power office spaces, cafes, fitness rooms, and the like. Another generator is 444 kW, which we use today..
I think that within a few years we will be able to adjust the cameras, turn on this generator, which will protect and light the football field, so we understand that today we cannot do without anyone. That's why we have three generators. Well, about that one, 1126 kW, I already said,” said the Ukrainian functionary.
In the next round, Kiev Obolon will take over Krivorizky Kryvbas.
