The national team of Ukraine is experiencing some problems in the position of the central striker, which, as many consider, can be decided due to the naturalization of the striker of the Donetsk Miner Juniors Moraes.

- Junior, you were offered naturalization in Ukraine?.

- It's not entirely true. I have the right to claim the citizenship of Ukraine, because I have lived here long enough, I know the language and culture, I really like this country. But now I have a choice before me whether to take such a step, or to wait for a possible call to the Brazilian national team, the country of my childhood.

- And you already guaranteed getting into the national team of Ukraine?.

- No one can give such guarantees. I recently got acquainted with Andrey Shevchenko, we had a conversation, he praised my game, effectiveness, said that the team is now a problem with the hammers. But it all depends on me. Shevchenko calls into the team those who have a Ukrainian passport.

If I take citizenship and continue to show good football, then I will have a chance in the team, like any Ukrainian player.

"Is Marlos's example exemplary?".

- Oh, he is in great shape, he is a leader in both Shakhtar and the national team. I would like to reach such a high level as him!.
