- Alexander, you were born in Zaporozhye and started playing football in Dush Metal URG . How it all started?
- From the very beginning, I tried myself in swimming. He spent some test workouts, after which my mom bought me all the things that I would do it professionally. However, in three days I changed my mind. Of course, my mother was not delighted with it, tried to explain to me that he had to be responsible for her words. But I was no longer convinced (smiles). In the same days, we once walked past the stadium where the boys were older than me - 1999-2000.
I remember it was very interesting and I watched the game. When I was seen by a local coach, I asked if I wanted to join them, which I, of course, agreed and immediately ran to play football. After that, he continued to engage in Torpedo FC. In the fifth grade, picking up the money that my mother usually gave to school, I decided to go to workout at Duh Metal URG without telling anyone. It was very far from home, it was necessary to go through the whole city.
I trained a week there, after which my future coach, rich Ivan Sanich, called my mom. For her, I found a shock that I had missed my workouts for the sake of Metal Urga. But mom supported me, so in Metal urgie began my football career.
- Do you still have football players in your family?
- my father played football when he was young. In words, he told how he scored goals, many goals. But I repeated everything after my older brother. He himself from the village, and I lived with him a certain period of life. His hobbies automatically became my hobbies. So it turned out that my brother liked football, so I was constantly running with him.
- Peremoga in 2024 as part of the Olympic team in Tuuna- how much are the moments cool in the career of a professional football player?

- What is the most important moment in your career now?
- probably this is a stage in Belgium. It was a more memorable moment because it was something new for me and had a lot to change in myself to play there and live.
