The football player of the Ukrainian national team Andriy Yarmolenko spoke about why he did not return to Dynamo Kiev.

" First of all, I would like to thank Igor Mikhailovich and Grigory Mikhailovich for the fact that they wanted to return me to my home team. I also really wanted this, but you yourself understand what the situation is in the country now.. I want stability, I want to play football.

It's hard for me to imagine how it will all be in Ukraine. So my solution was like this. Dynamo is the number one team in my life. This team gave me everything, made me who I am now. But you need to understand why I made such a choice..

The most important moment is the moment of my children. I don't know where my team will be based, what should I do with my family. I'm not the kind of person who made babies and sent them somewhere to study. Yes, of course, there is finance, and you can send them to London or somewhere else. But I still have children not at the age to leave them.. Children need a father. I have three boys to raise. I am responsible for them.

Therefore, first of all, when I made this choice, I looked at my children and understood that if I sign a contract with Dynamo, it is not clear where I will be, where my children will be, where they will study, how often I. Because my choice was purely family. I wanted stability for my family, for my family to be with me,"

The midfielder left West Ham as a free agent, after which he signed a one-year contract with the possibility of an extension for another season with Al Ain, a UAE club led by Sergei Rebrov..
