Ex-football player Zari Zeljko Lubonovich told about his plans.

Zeljko Ljubenovic, who completed his career, answered questions from the press service of Zarya.

- With gratitude, as a happy man, I finish my playing career. Those six years that I spent in Zara, I consider my best years in a football career. I will remember this time, remembering only the good.

"Can you lift the veil of your future plans?".

- I have a contract until June 30, and then everything will be definitively known.

- When you announced six months ago that you are completing a career, did you have any other suggestions for further employment?.

- I approached humanely to Sergei Rafailov and Yuri Vernidub and asked directly if I can not help the team, because I play little, can I finish my career? But the leaders of the club on the contrary told me that I do not bother anyone and must remain until the end of my contract to be an example for young players.

- I did not want to play in the First League team, for example?.

- In the winter of this, frankly, I did not think, but now it was such a thought, but it's better to finish and leave on time beautifully, like Zinedine Zidane (smiling).

- Remember yourself, how did you come to Zarya. It can be said that at that time Zeljko Lubenovich was alone, and now another?.

- This is the same Zeljko Lubonovich, who has been playing in Ukraine for 12 years (smiles). It just changed that I became older and more experienced than then.

- And with whom did you become most friends over the years and continue to be friends?.

- There are a lot of football players with whom I played and I maintain relations. I will not name anyone by name, because I will forget someone now and that no one is offended. I have very many friends in Ukraine.

- Do you see yourself in the future coach of the team? Do you plan to go on foot at football?.

- Yes. I do not plan to say goodbye to football. I will develop as a coach. Will be studying. I will do everything to continue to stay in football.

- If you were offered to make a symbolic team of Zarya for the period that you spent here, who would you choose?.

- The gate would put Krsevan Santini. On the right, Grigory Yarmash, left Nikita Kamenyuk. To the left Nikola Ignjatievich still played well, but I choose Nikita, because he was much more stable. In the center of Tony Shunich and Vitaliy Vernidub. In the midfield would put Alexander Gritsay, with whom it was very comfortable to play. I'll add Ilya Galuza and Jaba Lipartia. On the right uniquely Alexander Karavaev, and on the left I'll put Artyom Gromov.

Ahead there were many interesting players such as Danilo, Boli and Bonaventura, but I will choose Philip Budkovsky. Let it be unexpected. It was very pleasant to play with him. They helped each other very much, and he scored many goals after my assists.

In Ukraine, Lubenovic played for Krivbass (8 matches, 0 goals in the Ukrainian championship), Tavria (148, 18), Alexandria (9, 0) and Zaru (137, 23).
