Ukrainian midfielder Valery Fedorchuk, who previously played for Dynamo Kiev, commented on his decision to end his professional career as a football player.
“I am sure that such a decision is difficult for any football player. I gave my whole life to football. Lived for them. But, after thinking it over, after consulting with my family, I realized that now is the best time for me to stop. It is best to understand when to stop and start developing in a different direction. Plus the situation in the country, plus injuries. In general, the time has come.
I didn’t have stress, mentally I was always ready for this moment. So he calmly stopped. I could go on, but I made a decision that I consider balanced and deliberate. I am already developing in a different direction and I am thinking about where I can most effectively prove myself in the future.
Offers from other clubs? After someone found out that I was ending my career, I had more offers than in my best days in my career. I thank everyone who wanted to invite me to cooperation, but I made this decision. Many took it with surprise. They understood that I could still play football, show results, but the decision was made, ”Fedorchuk said in a comment to the Rukh club media, which became the last club in Fedorchuk’s career.
