The former defender of "Karpat", "Dnipro" and the national team of Ukraine, Artem Fedetsky, recalled the confrontation with Franck Ribery, who recently ended his career as a player.
"Everyone is talking about this match between Ukraine and France (2:0 at NSK Olimpiyskiy in 2013 - note). I watched that game more than once, analyzed it. I wouldn't say I was over the moon with happiness after the game. Yes, the result was cool, 2:0. Although, as the return match showed, it was not enough. This is already history.
After the game, they took selfies and took pictures. Nothing. I also had to cross paths with Ribéry in the Bundesliga when I played for Darmstadt. At the match with Bayern, they exchanged a few words, joked, and exchanged T-shirts. Well, how they exchanged... He gave me his, I gave him mine, and he gave it to the fans. But he remembers, it's quite nice.
I don't think there are stories about the Fedetsky-Ribery confrontation abroad. It has become so popular here. Of course, I'm pleased, but I wouldn't have been able to resist him so successfully if it weren't for the help of my partners," Fedetsky said on the YouTube channel "Karpat".
