Forward David Faupala told about the transition to Zarya.

Former Manchester City striker told why he failed in the English club and told him about Ukraine Yaya Toure and Alexander Zinchenko.

- Tell us about your emotions after signing the contract.

- I am very happy to sign a contract with the football club Zarya. I will try to bring victory to my new team.

- David, you have not played for a while. Your goals for the next period?.

- I'm very angry at myself, for the fact that a certain period of my career fell out and I want to make up for everything. It is important to gain optimal conditions, join the team and work, bringing the maximum benefit.

- I would like to hear a few words about your football life.

- He spent his childhood in the city of Lille. From the age of 10, he began to study in the system of the French club Lance, who became my first club. I spent several years in it. Then fate brought me to Manchester, to the Manchester City Football Club. Remained in the team for three years, playing games for different compositions of citizens. Regularly played, scored goals. Well, my next club was Zarya.

- An interesting point is that often the French do not want to go to the UK, preferring to stay in France.

- So there was my football career. Football in France has specific features and is different from English. I had a chance to continue my career at a well-known club, and I used it.

"We know that before you moved to Manchester City, you could go to Watford, who was actively interested in you.

- Lance did not want to let me go, because he wanted my career and my professional growth to continue with this club.

- Which player from Manchester City made a special impression on you?.

- I was close friends with Bakary Sanya. This is my very good friend.. Elyakim Mangal, Wilfried Boni, Yaya Toure good guys. But the greatest impression on me had Kevin De Breuin. All these guys are high-class players.

- By the way, did you know that Yaya Toure played in Ukraine?.

- Yes, I knew, but we did not talk to him about it..

- Maybe you talked about Ukraine with Alexander Zinchenko?.

- We trained together. Last time I saw him in August, during training. He is a very nice guy, but he, frankly, I did not ask about Ukraine.

- We watched the match of the FA Cup Chelsea - Manchester City. Your team lost, but it was you who scored the only goal for the townspeople. Then for a basis you did not play. What was the reason?.

- Manuel Pellegrini gave me a chance, but with the arrival of Josep Guardiola in the coaching vision, I did not fit. But this is life, this is football. A new chance for me to show myself and achieve victories.

- What is your favorite position on the football field?.

- I can play both left and right winger, under the attacker, but my favorite position is the striker. On the second place I will put the position of the left winger.

- You posted photos in Instagram, that he worked in the gym with a coach in Kiev. As we understand, the negotiations lasted a fairly long time.

- There was a negotiation process. I talked to agents, but I did not forget about the physical form. Visited the gym, where I worked with a personal trainer.

- It was not easy for you to transition to the Ukrainian championship.

- I knew about the virtues of Zarya, about the fact that the team plays regularly in the Europa League. Watched matches with Manchester United, Athletic Bilbao. I will not say that it was hard for me to decide on the transition. Just changed the country and the championship.

- Your first action, upon arrival in Zaporozhye, was an inspection of the base and the stadium. Yes, we are not Manchester City, but I would like to hear your opinion.

- I think this is the right step. It was interesting to know where the team is playing and practicing. Conditions suitable, and most important for me is to play football.

- We heard different pronunciation and writing of your last name, but no one will tell us how to speak correctly, except the original source.

- Yes, I saw this and heard it. I prefer when I'm called David, not David. And my surname is clearly stated - Faupala.

- Tomorrow you fly to Turkey. What is the mood before the meetings?.

- The mood is magnificent. Ready for work. It is necessary to make up for lost time and progress, bringing Zare a favor.

Recall, the football player signed a contract for the scheme 2 + 1.
