Artem Dovbyk: "Previously, in Spain, Ukrainian footballers were seen as lazy, who could go out and drink somewhere"

Forward of the national team of Ukraine and Girona Artem Dovbyk told us how he influenced the Spaniards' opinion of Ukrainians.

"This is a completely different generation. Now everyone has become more professional. I can speak for myself and Viktor Tsygankov - we are constantly working on ourselves at Girona, and they are a little shocked by this, because they are not used to this.

After training we go to the gym, before training we are in the gym. They look at us completely differently now. They used to see a Ukrainian football player as lazy, who could go out and drink somewhere. I think that now everything is different," Dovbyk was quoted as saying by the Vzbirna telegram channel.
