The most titled Ukrainian legionnaire in the history of American MLS Dmitry Kovalenko commented on the transfer of Shakhtar Donetsk defender Serhiy Kryvtsov to Inter from Miami.
“I am very happy for Sergey. I would like to see more of our guys here. Here is a market that is not very easy to enter. But the transition of Kryvtsov will open even more opportunities for Ukrainian football players to come and gain a foothold here.
The MLS league is growing every year, there are more strong teams. I'm not saying that the level here is like in the English or Spanish league. But this level is constantly growing. Football here has become much faster. Of course, Krivtsov is not 25 years old, but already 31 years old. Will he want to play for the Ukrainian national team at the World Cup here in America in three years? This is football, time will tell.
Will Kryvtsov be able to gain a foothold in the main team of Inter? Of course he can. Sergei played at a high level at Shakhtar. He has a lot of experience, so he won't have any problems. Inter from Miami is a good team, they have recently strengthened with a couple more strong players. Now I will follow this team even more. I hope that Krivtsov succeeds here, it will be interesting to follow him.
As for the decision on the transfer of Kryvtsov, in Inter everything is decided by David Beckham. I think he makes 80 percent decisions in the club. Of course, Inter has a president, a general manager. But the final decision on the transfer remains with Beckham," said Kovalenko.
