Now the former midfielder of the Hungarian Ferencváros midfielder Alexander Zubkov commented on his transfer to Shakhtar Donetsk, which, we recall, was officially announced yesterday.
Alexander Zubkov“We started talking to Shakhtar representatives about a month ago, when I was still in the national team camp. The decision was very easy for me, because Shakhtar is my native club, it is an opportunity to play in the Champions League, this is my native team, everything is native. And I really want to help the team in difficult times.
I talked a lot with Kolya Matvienko, and I also had several calls to Taras Stepanenko. And I also talked with Darijo Srna almost every day - probably even more than with my wife. We were in touch all the time, and finally it happened.
As for the head coach of Shakhtar Ihor Jovicevich, we met for the first time, but I talked with the players of Shakhtar and other clubs who worked with him before - everyone says only positive things. I think we will get to know each other better on the football field. I have to understand what he wants from me, what role he assigns to me. Will be working.
I think the championship of Ukraine will be quite interesting now. All teams, if not of the same level, will not differ as much as before, so each game will become a battle for the result. Everyone knows the ambitions of the club's president, everyone knows the ambitions of Shakhtar - so we will fight for the first place," Zubkov said.
