Probiy taken apart
1‑4 to Chornomorets, and it was every bit as bad as the number suggests. There are defeats you argue about and defeats you apologise for; this was the second kind.

Vladyslav Felipovych puts it in writing

Tempers go at Probiy
Dmytro Matsapura was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Viktor Tymchyk steps up from the Probiy academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Viktor Tymchyk has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

The manager makes an example of Dmytro Matsapura
“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.
