Polissia newcomer Bohdan Lednev shared his first emotions after joining the Zhytomyr club.
"My emotions are positive, because when you see that there is something so large-scale and ambitious in the country, which everyone is talking about, you also want to be a part of this whole process. I've already met everyone, everyone has been very nice to me, and the atmosphere here is very good. It's great that there are a lot of guys with whom I played not only at Dnipro-1, but also at Dynamo and Zorya. I was familiar with almost everyone, I repeat: the atmosphere is great.
I kept myself in good shape, I've been training for two days now according to the program - the coaches say I'm in good condition. I have the highest goals, because I see the team, I see how the club president looks at it all, and I think there is everything here for us to win the highest places in the championship with this team.
I will play at number 30. Why? To be honest, the choice was small. I had to rack my brains a bit to choose a number. My idol Messi played under this number for some time. It was good that at least the 30th was free. Of course, I would have liked to choose the 17th, because I have been playing under it all my life, but here the 17th is booked for a long time," Lednev was quoted as saying by the official website of Polissia.
