Alexander Filippov. Photo - FC “Polesie”“I am glad to be in this team. You can see that there are all the conditions for the growth of footballers here. The level is evident in everything. Everything is aimed at making “Polesie” a new force in Ukrainian football.
After the last round of the past Ukrainian championship, I realized that I still had a year left on my contract with “Alexandria”, so my thoughts were completely with that club. But after Ruslan Petrovich (Rotan, last season - head coach of “Alexandria”, - ed.) left the team, whom I consider the best coach of the championship, under whom I grew as a footballer and learned a lot, I wanted to continue working with him.
Honestly, there was interest from Cherkasy’s LNZ, and for that trust, I am grateful, but I chose with my heart. I felt that I was needed by Ruslan Petrovich (Rotan is now the head coach of “Polesie”, - ed.) and waited until the last moment,” Filippov said during the press conference where he was introduced as a player of “Polesie”.
