Mykhailo Kopolovets: "Tymoshchuk showed everyone that he was a sincere Ukrainian, and then to betray him like that..."

Former Minaya director Mikhail Kopolovets once again spoke out about former Ukrainian footballer Anatoly Tymoshchuk.

- "Tymoshchuk could show some kind of position. I'm not talking about stars, they are corrupt people. Tymoshchuk showed everyone that he was a sincere Ukrainian, and then to betray him like that... I tried to understand why he did that. It's clear that he has a family and a business. But betraying your people is not worth the money for me. He could have found a mechanism to leave there for Europe. To sell something. Because these are your people - your family and friends are all here. I think these people don't exist for us anymore. We should forget about them, there are many of them.

Were Tymoshchuk investigated by the special services? I think so. Look at the team he worked for for so many years. At Zenit. Of course, they worked with him, one hundred per cent. But we don't know all the nuances, maybe he didn't have a chance to leave. Although, maybe he is already their brain, we don't know," Kopolovets told the Lvivych YouTube channel.
