Newcomer of the French Lyon Roman Yaremchuk gave his first heated interview with the club press service. 30-year attacker hopes about adaptation, choice of game number and factors that influenced his decision to join the weavers.

Roman wants to take his senior number 7, but there are some scraps from his studies, the forward has taken number 77. Yaremchuk is also motivated by an important historical fact: the first assist in the history of Lyon was achieved by a native of Lvov..

“This is an additional motivation to support this challenge: to develop Ukrainians in Lyon, to give assists and score goals,” Roman said.

An important role in the transition was played by the person of the head coach, who is wonderfully familiar with Ukrainian football and worked in Donetsk Shakhtar (words about Paulo Fonseca).

Vіn knows the mentality of Ukrainians. He is a top coach who has worked with top teams. I remember, I engraved against him, if I coached Shakhtar. Having become a champion, it seems that three years later. He had a super team with divine discipline. Nowadays he trusts young people so much, and I want to take advantage of my chance,” the attacker said.

As it turns out, Lyon was planning to sign Yaremchuk last summer, and then the transfer was canceled.

Representatives of Lyon contacted me last season. It was difficult for a lot of reasons. The infection has become a reality. If I had such a chance, I told myself that it might all work out next time,” the forward said with respect..

With the new team, Roman will not be on his own - he will team up with Clinton Mata, once again playing for Brugge.

" He’s such a positive guy, his soul is relaxed, you never get bored with him,” adding the Ukrainian.

Yaremchuk, no matter what, is determined to represent Ukraine in the brightest possible light, even if his father and friends are no longer at home.. Finally, the striker called on the patients to encourage the team, not to be surprised by the result, but to work as hard as possible in order to quiet their performances on the football field..
