Yevgeny Levchenko condemned the activities of the current head of the UAF
Former player of the national team of Ukraine Yevhen Levchenko believes that UAF president Andriy Pavelko should leave his post.
“Ukrainian football. What is happening now in our football is a direct consequence of the completely ineffective policy of the UAF in recent years. Our football is synonymous with opacity, nepotism, behind-the-scenes games and adventurers who usurped football power.
The saddest thing is that the people who stand at the head of this government are so attached to this chair that they are ready for anything, including the collapse of Ukrainian football, just to keep this power. Let’s say frankly that the current football officials of the UAF have been unable to reform practically anything for many years.
For various reasons. Yes, we constantly hear some promises that are more like self-promotion and cause reasonable people to smile and get annoyed.
An organization cannot be healthy and efficient when incompetent managers are at its head and in management. At the moment, I do not see a clear course of football development at all. You can’t just hide behind the war and the national team and pretend that everything is fine. This is not true and we all know it.
What exactly was promised that was fulfilled? Where are the reports on the work performed and the financial component? Why do we not have transparency, respect for the football community, football players, and journalists? Where is the plan for the development of Ukrainian football in the short and long term?
Why were the UAF statutes rewritten? Who is responsible for this? Why are methods of intimidation, manipulation and pressure used? Anyone familiar with Ukrainian football knows that our football is rotten and everyone understands that it cannot continue like this.
A specific question for Mr. Pavelek, why don’t you leave your position if you are unable to manage Ukrainian football? There is nothing wrong with that. It is not your property. Let other, more competent people be at the helm.
And also, if we strive for democratic values, then the methods should be appropriate. The ability to take beautiful photos, make eloquent promises and surround yourself with legends of Ukrainian football does not mean being able to manage.
Ask yourself a simple question, what have you really done for Ukrainian football? And who should be lost in football history after you…” Levchenko wrote on his Facebook page.
