Dnipro head coach Yevhen Kucherevskyi, in an interview with the "Lviv Newspaper," commented on the latest interview of Volyn's "coach" Vitaliy Kvartsyanyy, in which he mentioned a match with the Dnipropetrovsk team from two years ago, noting that his team's players threw that game for money.
Upon hearing about the accusations from the Lutsk team's mentor, Kucherevskyi spoke rather sharply about Vitaliy Kvartsyanyy and called him a fool. "He is a real fool. I don't understand why my players would buy this match from the Lutsk players when the result of the duel had no tournament significance. I shamed my players at halftime and said that you can concede 6-8 goals, it's the end of the championship after all. And Kvartsyanyy accuses not only us but also his own players.
It's not for nothing that so many good footballers left him," noted Yevhen Kucherevskyi. According to the Dnipro mentor, in the 15th minute of the second half the Lutsk players began to have a "seizure" and they weren't just standing but lying on the field.
"The entire former Soviet Union knows that I don't engage in such things," the Dnipro head coach fumed. "If I did, then I would probably already be a Ukrainian champion several times over. We profess fair rules of the game. This is immediately evident from the fact that referees do not sympathize with us either in home matches or away."
Yevhen Kucherevskyi recalled the time when he worked in Russia and officiated a match in Makhachkala at the end of the season. According to him, at that time he was brought "such money for them to lose the match that Kvartsyanyy's hair would have grown for three days." However, Yevhen Mefodiyovych's charges won that encounter, since the current Dnipro coach values his name and reputation.
Yevhen Mefodiyovych assured the "Gazeta" correspondent that he would talk with the club president, after which Dnipro would file a lawsuit against Vitaliy Kvartsyanyy for slander.
