Alexander Marchenko, a pupil of Russian Krasnodar who now plays for second-league Sakhalin FC, demonstrated the level of his intelligence and adequacy in vivid form.
"Once Shakhtar and Dynamo Kyiv came to us for the Vakhrushev Memorial Tournament. Viktor Kovalenko and Oleksandr Zinchenko played for Shakhtar. We beat Shakhtar with our snouts. Zinchenko was in the Champions League with Arsenal, and I was on Sakhalin. How does it work? I don't understand.
Now, I think, they could throw me to Manchester City - I will train for a month and I will be at the same level. Football is the same everywhere, just people are different," Sport24 quoted Marchenko as saying.
