Al Ain head coach Serhiy Rebrov spoke about how the winger of the Ukrainian national team Andriy Yarmolenko decided to move to the UAE championship.
Andrey Yarmolenko and Sergey Rebrov“We considered many candidates. The club itself contacted Yarmolenko's agent, and then asked if I had an interest in Andrey. Of course, of all those who were offered to me for this position, I put Yarmolenko in the first place. I know him well. I know that he will easily join any team. The factor that he is Ukrainian? Last season I worked without Ukrainians, I have no problems communicating with the players. But of course it will help me.
I see that Andrey is interested here, he is already joining the team. It will be quite interesting for him in this championship. "Dynamo"? This is Andrew's choice. I did not hear from him that he received some kind of offer on paper from Dynamo. Al Ain made a concrete offer. Yarmolenko is at such an age that he must think about his family and consult with his wife. This is their life, their decisions.
I did not persuade Andrey to go to Al-Ain, I only explained the advantages of this team. And only Andriy and his family decided, and I am sure that fans in Ukraine should respect his choice," Rebrov said.
