“Guys, to be honest, I didn’t come here to talk about me. I just want to thank you from the bottom of my heart, because I think that you have shown an example to the whole of Ukraine of what a dream can do.

That football is played not only by money, not only by prices on Transfermarkt. By your work, by the fact that you lived with one goal, you showed that dreams can come true. You guys are great, thank you for playing. It was a pleasure to share the football field with you.

I want to tell you not to lower your head, not to stop there.. Prove next year that this is not an accident,” Yarmolenko said.
