Ukrainian striker Roman Zozulya, known for his most active civic position and constant assistance to the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the fight against Russian invaders, spoke about a pause in his football career.
“At the moment I am without a club. And, to be honest, now I'm not up to football. There were many offers from different clubs, but I turned them all down.
I often read the statements of Ukrainian football players that when they go to a match or a training session, their head switches a little and they forget about everything for an hour and a half. I couldn't do that.
Therefore, to all the teams that wanted to see me at their place, I said: guys, I can’t now. I don’t care about football when there is a war going on in my country, when people die.
Yes, the more I play, the more I can earn and help, donate, but so far I don’t even know when I will resume my career. And will I resume at all. Now, when there is a war going on in my country, I simply don’t have any motivation to play football,” Zozulya said in a comment to the Radio NV Youtube channel.
