A newcomer to the Kharkiv club shared his thoughts about his transition.

Newly promoted attacker of Metalist 1925 Raymond Frimpong Owusu commented on his move to the Kharkiv club.

" I was in Ukraine last year. I went through the beginning of the war, but then I turned around again. Everything is fine now. Ukraine is a very good country, so there should be people here. As for me, when I arrived, there weren’t as many people on the streets as before. Ale, I respect that everything is great for me in Ukraine.

This team has good players, I know and remember these players. Also, besides the bright racers, a good coach, so I respect that we will be able to finish in the top 5, since everything will go well for us this season.

I grew up, was afraid, but having arrived to the edge, I realized in my mind that here, where I am, everything is calm, peaceful. There are matches and no combat actions. People in Ukraine are garni. Hello, soon you can get angry with anyone. So, really good people.

My favorite position is center forward. I can also operate as a left winger, since I have also played on the right in an attack..

Now I've been with the team for a long time, training. I think that everything in me is great. I'm ready to gratify. If the coach trusts me with such ability - play, I will work hard. Well, it’s not me who robs, it’s the coach who robs.

My favorite person is Sadio Mane, so I can play both as a center forward and as a left winger. That’s why I’m amazed at what I’m doing, I’m trying to learn the best. Sadio Mane is a really good guy. I support Manchester United, and, of course, Metalist 1925 - they are also a good team.

When I have a free time, I like to go to the beach. Might as well take a book with you. You can walk to the museum. There are a lot of museums in Ukraine, this way I can learn more about Ukraine and its history. Also, I can go to the museum at an opportune time,” the club’s press service said to Ovus.

Metalist 1925 will play their closest match against Donetsk Shakhtar. It will be tomorrow, 3rd birthday, about 17:00 Kyiv time.
