"Never in my life have I had the opportunity to have direct contact with Ronaldo, I've only seen him on the football field. But when I was studying at a football boarding school, we had Viktor Taran, born in 1993, on our team. He had a similar style of play to Crist and showed great promise. But, as often happens in our country, talents are "buried". And he was really the second Ronaldo and more promising than the guys who are now playing in the national team, but his talent was "buried."
Viktor Taran, from Dnipropetrovs'k region, came to our boarding school in Kyiv at the age of 12. He was a very technical, fast player. He even threw it between Buyalsky's legs and played in the center. He graduated because he did not do well at school, and when they were choosing who to expel - him or me from the boarding school because of my poor performance at school, they chose him. So there you have it. That was basically the end of his career. He did not succeed further. Now he lives in Canada and works as a waiter in a restaurant," Tretiak said.
