Ivan Zadoienko: This is my first time working under the leadership of Patrick van Leeuwen

Midfielder of Kryvyi Rih Kryvbas U-17, 16-year-old Ivan Zadoienko - about the progress of the winter training camp in Spain with the club's main team.

- Ivan, you have been working with Kryvbas at training camps for a long time. How is the preparation going for you?

- The fact that I went to the training camp with the first team is a great experience for me and confirmation that I can reach great heights. Here, the speed, workload and much higher competition are completely different.

- Evaluate the work with experienced players of the main team.

- I am very interested in training with Kryvbas players, whom I am currently on a par with, in particular with Max Zaderaka. I am impressed by the way he thinks on the field, his skillful passes and ability to see the game.

- You have already managed to debut for Kryvbas in friendly matches. What are your emotions?

- In the first matches it was difficult because of the serious physical exertion, but with each game it became easier. I was extremely happy when I first stepped onto the field in the Kryvbas shirt, and the matches against opponents who play in the Europa League gave me unforgettable emotions. For me, this is an important step in my career. This is an incredible chance.

- Is the training camp with Kryvbas a great experience for you?

- Yes, this is the first time I am working with the coaching staff under the leadership of Patrick van Leeuwen and I am sure that this experience will help me in my further work with the U-17 team. My main goal is to play in the first team in the future.
