“Don’t worry.” At the beginning of his career, Tsygankov could move to Shakhtar

Pavel Kikotone of the first coaches of the Ukrainian winger of the Catalan “Girona” Viktor Tsygankovsaid that the star football player at the beginning of his career could go to Shakhtar Donetsk, and not to Dynamo Kyiv:

“I showed Viktor and his father the base, our Dynamo infrastructure. Then Tsygankov Sr. told me that they still have an option with Shakhtar in Donetsk on Kirsha.

I said to my father: “Vytalik, don’t bother yourself. From Vinnytsia you have to drive 200 kilometers to Kyiv, and how far to Donetsk? You won’t keep your finger on the pulse.” Yes, Vyta’s father and Vytalyk Kosovsky played for Vinnytsia “Niva” at one time, they were already acquainted at the club.

In general, at that time in Dynamo, the players, the coaching staff, and the conditions were at the highest level. Vitya immediately joined our team. I think he liked it. Then there were times when Shakhtar and I competed strongly for young talents. There were also Kyivans in Shakhtar.
