Kyiv's Dynamo and Ukrainian Joint Team Chief Coach Valeryi Lobanovskyi answers the journalists' questions on the press-conference in the Soccer Club "Dynamo" Center in Koncha Zaspa, Kyiv outskirts, on Monday, October 30, 2000. Mr. Lobanovskyi denied the information about his retirement, and called it not more than a provocation. He also marked that the situation with the Ukrainian joint Team is very complicated now. The major problem is the staff, in particular, many players have "considerably reduced requirements towards themselves". In the future off-season it is planned to strengthen the middle line of the Joint Team by 3-4 young perspective soccer players. Photo by Alexander Sinitsa/ UNIAN
