Ukrainian defender of Everton Vitaliy Mykolenko said that he was completely used to the conditions of the Premier League and now enjoys football.
Vitaly Mikolenko (photo: gettyimages.com)— I know that the biggest problem for Ukrainian players when moving is the language. If you don't know the language, then you can't communicate with partners and you don't understand the coach. Everyone needs to learn English, Spanish, Portuguese - this is very important. After the transition, I did not have time to work with Rafa Benitez, who was soon fired. I did not have time to understand his methods.
Last season? Yes, there was a certain fear, because there was a chance of relegation from the Premier League. But we have a team that is powerful in spirit, and we snatched points from Chelsea, from Manchester United. And now we have become stronger, and now we enjoy every day together. We play both four defenders and five - there is no difference for me. We play like this in the national team, there are no problems. And in Everton I sometimes play central, so it’s not a problem,” Mikolenko said in an interview with Setanta Sports.
