Maksym Levytskyi: "Zayayev wanted to expel Golovko and me from Tavriya"

Former goalkeeper of the national team of Ukraine, Tavria and Saint-Etienne Maksym Levytskyi in an interview withUV, in particular, recalled how he played in Simferopol.

- "I'll tell you a story about Zayayev. I think Anatolii Mykolaiovych will forgive me, may he rest in peace. The score was 3-0. I don't remember who we played. There are five minutes left. They kick the ball in our direction, it comes to me. I'm waiting. The camera shows our half of the field. Sanya Golovko runs to me and says: "Give me the ball," and we played it out. There is no one else. The last minutes of the match. Anatolii Mykolaiovych gets up from the bench and starts shouting: "If you throw the ball to him again, I'll kick you both off the team!" I shout: "What should I do?" "Kick it forward!"

You may think it's funny now, but at that moment it was not. Golovko was the only player on my side of the pitch. No one from the opposing team was running. Not a single player near Sani. Of course, we wanted to play dir-dir, control the ball. We all saw how they play there. In the 90s, they showed English football. They played just like us. And now look how it is now," said Maksym.
