The West Ham footballer tried to find out the reason for the silence of the Ukrainian football legend.
Footballer of the English “West Ham” and the national team of Ukraine Andriy Yarmolenko told how he talked to Anatoly Tymoschuk after the beginning of the Russian military invasion.
“For me, Tolya was an example of professionalism. When the war broke out, I followed all the statements. >
For me, Tymoschuk's silence was a surprise. I asked him how he slept at night. He replied, “Don't sleep as well as you do.” I didn't answer him, and he called me. Specifically, I asked him, “Why are you silent? You were an example to me, I was equal to you, but now you do not exist in my life.” He sent me n *** y, I sent him, and that's the end of our conversation.
He is just afraid, he does not know what will happen to him. I understand that his wife and children are Russian, but many of your friends are from Ukraine, and their relatives are dying. You can easily take a family and live anywhere in the world. I don't understand how he will be able to live with it.
Did the UAF take away all his titles? I don't think it's too much. I believe that the former captain of the national team of Ukraine, who played 144 matches for her, should have been one of the first to say his word and show the people of Russia what is happening. I believe that everything was done correctly. There can be no two sides, you have to choose who you support, “Yarmolenko said in a new issue of the KraSava YouTube channel.
It will be recalled that 43-year-old Anatoliy Tymoschuk is a native of Lutsk and a legend of the Ukrainian national team. played for Volyn, Shakhtar, Zenit and Bayern. Since 2017, Tymoschuk has been working for Zenit St. Petersburg.
