– I hardly worked with Blokhin, but… I don’t know, even where I crossed paths – I don’t really like such people. I don’t like people who fly where people don’t fly. In my opinion, every person, no matter who he is, no matter what he has achieved, should be closer to the people, a simple person.
And Demyanenko, in my opinion, was perhaps even too soft, kind.
– Shouldn’t a football player be a coach’s friend?
– This is such a fine line. In my opinion, a football player, if he is adequate, should not be afraid of the coach in any case. I grew up with the idea that “a coach is a football player somewhere under the plinth.” This should not happen.
We should be with him as friends, but I do not owe this subordination, this respect – I cannot cross some line. But I can’t be afraid of him. And our upbringing was like that.
This is, as I say, in football there is a president, under the plinth there is a coach, and somewhere under the plinth there is a player very far away. And this huge difference is completely incomprehensible to me. Abroad, the mentality is completely different, said Morozyuk.
