— I have already terminated my contract with Metalist 1925. It only remains to formalize this process, the papers, officially with the PFL.

— What is the reason for such a rather radical decision?

— I terminated it and that’s it… Well, the coach isn’t counting on me. Why should I stay there? I was invited by Viktor Skrypnyk, but now the team is managed by Patrick van Leeuwen, and I don’t fit into his vision of football, his schemes. That’s all.

— What’s next, do you have options for continuing your career, real offers from Ukrainian or foreign clubs?

— I’m not even looking for any options. For now, I want, you know… I don’t want to do anything.

— So you want to take a break and rest a bit?

— No. It’s not about a break or pause. I just want to continue purely playing for enjoyment. Nothing more.

— Wait, you don’t intend to end your career at 34, do you?

— You could say that. Almost. (Smiles).
