"The information about New England Revolution was true. We had even discussed the terms and duration of the contract and everything else. But at the last moment, we decided that I would not go to MLS. And I believe we made the right choice.

Just before signing the contract with Metalist 1925, Shakhtar reached out to me. We communicated with Srna (Dario Srna, the sports director of Shakhtar, - ed. note), I know that the management of Vorskla communicated with the management of Shakhtar. But even before that, I had already given my word to Metalist 1925, and I kept that word. I didn’t want to change anything because if you give your word, you need to stick to it,” Krupskiy said on the YouTube channel Profootball Digital.
