"Konoplyanka is now in a period when he is reaping the rewards of his former football merits through his extensive contacts. He played beautifully in the England-Ukraine match at Wembley. Now he is playing in a match of legends. Konoplyanka follows his godfathers, brothers, matchmakers. Konoplyanka is everyone's friend," Vasilkov said on the Vzbirna YouTube channel.
