The Ukrainian newcomer of the Emirati Al-Ain, Andriy Yarmolenko, reacted to criticism from the former Dynamo Kyiv striker Viktor Leonenko (“So you have to say that he went to earn money, and not f **** about patriotism. Let him go wherever he wants, I don’t criticize him. You just have to not change your shoes. If it wasn’t for the national team, I don’t know what he would do, "Leonenko said in a recent interview).

I have my own attitude towards Ukraine, I love this country. I play for the national team of Ukraine. And at least I can communicate in Ukrainian. What do I have to prove to this person?” Yarmolenko said on the air of the Vacko on air Youtube channel.
