Former midfielder of Kyiv’s Dynamo, Alexander Aliyev commented on his move to the media football club IGNIS, where another ex-Dynamo player, Artem Milevsky, plays.
Alexander Aliyev and Artem Milevsky«I am very glad that I came here. When I talked to the guys, they had a dream for me and Tema (Artem Milevsky — editor's note) to be together again, in one team.
It would be great if he prepares so that we can go out together on the football field. I think both the guys and many spectators want to see us play together.
I fully support the media league. I only want it to develop. It would be nice to have more famous footballers. But we understand — there are regulations. Here, mainly, there should be media personalities. But we shouldn’t forget about footballers either, to raise the level.
As for me, I am preparing not for media football; I want to get myself in shape. I’ve lost 10 kg, and right now it is very hard for me. I’m almost 40 years old, but there’s still gunpowder in the flasks. I want to run and play. I love football — it’s my favorite sport.
I am preparing only for myself. Honestly, I won’t hide it — I have a lot of jeans, but I couldn’t fit into them. Now I’ve started to fit in,” — said Aliyev.
