Oleksandr Romanchuk: In addition to the position of central defender, I can also play in midfield

EXCLUSIVE from the newcomer of Kryvbas Kryvyi Rih, defender Oleksandr Romanchuk in the framework of the traditional column from the official sponsor of the FAVBET Club.

- Your role is central defender. Where else can you play?

- Yes. A professional football player must be able to play everywhere, that's what my first coach told me. Therefore, I can play both central and right defender, as well as defensive midfielder. Therefore, these positions are familiar to me.

- We saw your stories on social networks that you are very happy to return to your native Ukraine. What are your emotions about this?

- It cannot be expressed in words. My mother came to Debrecen for me as soon as we crossed the border - they saw my emotions. I was as happy as possible. Even earlier, he told the agent that in the future he would like to return to Ukraine. And if there is an opportunity for him to work in this direction. So I'm very happy to come back and play here.

- How do you characterize the period of your two-year career in Hungary?

- It was a colossal experience for me, it was a very good two years. Psychologically it was not easy, I went to another country - my first experience, so it was difficult in places, even very difficult. Other people, mentality, language is different. It took time to get used to it. But overall, I'm glad I had the experience.

- In "Debrecen" you played under number 21, but in "Kryvbas" it is occupied by Kuzyk. Why did you choose number 3 in Kryvbas?

- I used to play under number 3 in the double "Dynamo". My favorite football player played under number three, this number was with me even earlier. And here, too, I wanted to choose 21, but Kuzya intercepted it, played ahead (smiles). On the other hand, 2 plus 1 is 3.

- You arrived in Kryvyi Rih recently. Have you already had a conversation with Yuriy Vernydub?

- Yuri Mykolayovych asked how I felt, whether I was ready, whether I was in the mood and desired. He said that it is necessary to work, because there is not enough time, it is necessary to adapt as soon as possible. I understand all this and work.

- Share your expectations for the new season as part of Kryvbas. What tasks and goals do you set for yourself?

- My new team sets maximum goals for itself. As for yourself, you have to go from match to match. Of course, I just want to win together with Kryvbas.
