“The Shakhtar winger talked about the important stages of his career”, — write: sport.ua
Ivan Petryak previously said that he does not yet know where he will continue his performances. Now the football player is resting with his family after the first part of the season.
“The most difficult moment in your career? The injury that happened in training, after which I disappeared from the radar, they did 3 operations. Thanks to Dmytro Skibinskyi, I was able to return to the field, and only now I started to come to my senses. Children and family were not allowed to be separated, although I was very close.
How do I deal with injuries? Injuries are a part of football, without them there is nowhere, there are many qualified doctors, rehabilitators, massage therapists in our country, who are not highly valued (I don’t know why).
Which player impresses? I like Salah now, very strong.
My main football dreams? Many of them have already come true, but today is the victory of the Ukrainian army, as it turned out, it is very important for all of us.
Biggest career achievement? Won a little something, saw something, played somewhere, but overall not very satisfied, but this is not the end
“Zorya” is and will always be in my heart, I started my football history there, it was in “Zorya” that they believed in me. So this team is 100% forever in my heart. And the best teammate was Artem Gordienko from Zorya.
Which one of the coaches should you single out? Vernydub, Rebrov, Shchyshchenko, Kovalets, Babich are people who trusted me, who helped me and always supported me, no matter how well or badly I played. Of course, there were many foreign coaches who also treated me well and believed in me!
How do I rate my six months in Odessa? Of course, it is negative, because the results are unsatisfactory, if the team is at the bottom of the tournament table, it means that the football players did not play well.
Is there a connection with your hometown Smila? Of course, I just arrived a week ago, this is my Maldives for the duration of my career, my family is there, my relatives are there, so I always visit there when I have time. I have only positive memories, I always go there like home, even though I haven’t lived there for a long time.
Changes and improvements in the football system of Ukraine? Here the question is extremely difficult, because our country is in a state of war, and of course there is work to be done. But for now it is not very important, because there are problems everywhere, and it affects our football, so we have to wait.”
