As you know, before the game against the German team on the fifth day of the League of Nations, the Ukrainian team lost four players to the coronavirus. Andrey Yarmolenko, Victor Tsygankov, Sergey Sidorchuk and Victor Kovalenko passed the positive tests. As a result, the national team was left with almost no reserve between the midfield and the attacking players, so Andriy Shevchenko even had to ask the youth team for reinforcements.
But the story with the patients continued. On Sunday, the official website of Dynamo Kiev solemnly announced that the president of the club, without waiting for information from the UAF about the future of the players, independently organized the return of the players to Kiev, for some reason recalling the Minister of the Inside.
“With the support of the Minister of the Interior Ministry, Arsen Avakov, who was ready to send a special plane of the Ministry of Emergency Situations to Germany, the president of Dynamo Igor Surkis agreed with one of the western airlines, which provided its board for the transfer of Ukrainian football players and a doctor to Boryspil, in accordance with the requirements of the international doctor Thanks to this, Viktor Tsygankov, Sergei Sidorchuk and the coach of the national team Vadim Komardin are already in flight and will soon be home “, the Dynamo said in an official statement.
On the website of the white and blue, there was even a gratitude from Viktor Tsygankov’s father:
“I would like to thank from the bottom of my heart FC Dynamo (Kiev), our local club, for helping my son, Viktor Tsygankov, and his comrades to return quickly and safely to their homeland. All the time from the The moment I knew that Viti and the other guys tested positive for COVID-19, of course he couldn’t find a place for himself. A father’s heart cannot remain calm in such a situation, especially when his son is away from home, no matter how adult … There is also another moment: at one point it seemed that no one was dealing with the problem of returning the boys to Ukraine! But thank goodness the Dynamo, represented by Igor Surkis, dealt with this and the transfer issue from Germany was quickly resolved. Victor and his colleagues returned home from Saturday to Sunday night, and I was able to congratulate my son on his birthday in person, not over the phone. “
During the informative offensive, the Dynamo reached the television channels Football 1 | 2 | 3. The vice president of the Kiev club, Alexander Semenenko, addressed the director of television channels Alexander Denisov:
FC Dynamo Kyiv expresses its respect and reports that its press releases contain false information regarding the return from Germany of national team players who fell ill with COVID-19. In particular, we are talking about the fact that allegedly Viktor Tsygankov, Sergei Sidorchuk and the manager of the national team Vadim Komardin with the assistance of the UAF will be sent to Kiev on a charter flight on Sunday, November 15. In fact, the named persons have been at home for a long time, because they came to Boryspil in the evening with a foreign board, which was organized by the club’s management. In the evening, the official FC Dynamo website reported. We draw your attention to this annoying error, which was caused by the UAF, and we suggest that this information be transmitted in the correct version. “
The Ukrainian Football Association responded to the Dynamo only on Sunday evening. Around 19:00, a comment from the manager of the national team Alexander Targonsky appeared on the organization’s website:
“Immediately after the COVID-19 test was positive in five representatives of the Ukrainian national team, we learned about the procedure by which the collections could be delivered to their homes. First, we had to wait for permission from the local authorities for the infected people to leave the territory of Germany. On the day of the game, November 14, a representative of the local authorities in Leipzig said that the permit had been received and that the boys should leave the country next Monday. The Ukrainian Football Association immediately ordered the “Embraer” aircraft, which according to medical protocol was ready to transport the collections to Kiev.
Parallel to us, English “West Ham” contacted us, who announced that they were taking over the organization of the delivery of their player, Andrey Yarmolenko, directly to London. Yarmolenko, by the way, flew to London this morning, like Shakhtar’s representative Viktor Kovalenko in a letter organized by the UAF to Kiev. Along with Viktor, three Dynamo players were supposed to fly: Viktor Tsygankov, Sergei Sidorchuk and Vadim Komardin. We planned to fly in on Sunday morning so the guys could quietly watch the Germany-Ukraine game in their hotel rooms and not go to the airport late at night, as it really did. There was no need to urgently evacuate the Dynamo on Saturday night. “
We will remember, earlier in the “Dynamo” there was an outbreak of coronavirus, so 12 players reached self-isolation. Recently it became known that some of them, in particular, Vitaly Mykolenko, Georgy Buschan and Denis Boyko, Vladislav Supryaga have already returned to training.
