"As soon as I arrived in Poland, something happened that shook Ukraine. To be honest, I had thoughts of ending my career at the time, and I even told one person about it. I could not focus on football at all. My head was spinning. For me it was a difficult moment.

Poland and the atmosphere around the club was a great support for me. I tried to give my best. I mean not in goals, but in dedication on the pitch. I was happy that after that I could concentrate on football. It was thanks to the atmosphere around me", - Fakt newspaper quotes Konoplyanka.
