Cherkasy LNZ has officially announced the signing of Ingulets captain Maksym Kovalev, the club's press service reports.
"A few days after the butt matches, I got a call, we talked, I was offered good conditions and I agreed.
Of course, I followed LNZ, I watched the First League, watched matches against Polissia and Obolon. The team is very good, I was welcomed well, the guys are all cheerful and positive.
The confrontation against LNZ? It was a tough match, especially emotionally, it's a shame that we and Ingulets got to these matches. LNZ was very aggressive. We understood that it would not be easy, they set a goal to reach the UPL, and we needed to keep this place, it was difficult, but as they say, the stronger man won," said Maksym Kovalev.
Kovalev, 34, has played for Ingulets since 2018. In the 2022/2023 season, the defender played 24 matches for Ingulets, scoring three goals.
