As it was already reported, Metalist Kharkiv strengthened its roster with Spanish defender Roberto Corral. The 25-year-old football player told how he made his decision to continue his career in the Ukrainian club.

“In February, I terminated the contract with the Crown by mutual agreement and returned to Spain to continue training and free myself from all thoughts for a couple of weeks. Then they told me that Metalist was interested in me.

I knew about this club, it has a good reputation and name in Europe. I also consider the UPL to be one of the best European leagues, because at the sporting level I really wanted to come here to continue to enjoy football and develop.

The only problem was that I was a little scared by the situation in Ukraine because of the war. But they explained to me in detail how it works, they told me that the matches are held with the maximum observance of security measures. I was able to come here a couple of days before the signing of the contract to make sure of all this. Everything looked really nice and comfortable.

Metalist players from the first day of my stay made me feel like a full member of the team. The guys tried to adapt me as soon as possible so that I could help the team from the first match. I have a very good impression of Metalist. I am pleasantly surprised and feel that my adaptation can go as quickly as in Poland a year ago, ”Korral is quoted as saying. Metalist's official website.
