Defender of Lviv’s “Rukh” Alexey Syich, who the day before received his first call-up to the national team of Ukraine, arrived at the camp of the “blue-yellow” in Turkey last night.
“The call to the national team of Ukraine was unexpected for me, but I was ready to go to the national team at any moment. When the call from the general director of “Karpaty” came, I was at home watching some series with my wife.
I was both surprised and happy. I didn't believe it at first. The phone didn’t drop, like Nazarенко’s, but my hands were trembling. It’s a new stage for me, new emotions. I’m very glad to be here.
In the national team, I know many from the Olympic team of Ukraine, from the “youth team.” Nazarенко and Brazhko have already written to me. It’s clear that there are older guys with whom I’m not familiar at all. Especially with our legionnaires. So it will be interesting! I’m looking forward to all this.
First goals here? Of course, first of all, I want the team to win these two matches. That’s the main thing. And if there’s an opportunity, I would like to help the team,” — Syich said in a comment to the UAF press service.
