Dmytro Kovalenko: "The arrival of a star like Messi can also have a negative impact on the team's microclimate"

The most decorated Ukrainian in MLS history, Dmytro Kovalenko, has commented on the transfer of Lionel Messi to Inter Miami, for which defender Serhiy Kryvtsov plays.

"The arrival of a star like Messi can also have a negative impact on the microclimate in the team. When you sit in the dressing room next to a man who earns 60 million and you earn ten times less - it has an impact. But all the lads need to understand that this is Messi, and he is the only one.

To stop Messi, Kryvtsov will need to grab his heels, "bite" him. But it is clear that no one will touch Lionel. It won't be easy for Kryvtsov and the other players on the team against Messi in Miami's training sessions," Kovalenko said.
