Subscribe to the Tajik Vitaly Levchenko, working as head coach of Neftech from Ferghana, spoke about a lot of interesting things. Vitaly Levchenko was born and spent the first 16 years of his life in Tajikistan. Starting with go, he works in Asia with interruptions. In an interview with the Ukrainian press, he spoke about life and career. Still, you have a Tajik passport and a significant part of your life you did not have in Ukraine.

I communicate and write at Ukrainian at a good level. How am I Tajik? I was only born there. And my parents - Ukrainians smiles. The father's sister left for Tajikistan and invited him there. And there dad met his mother and they got married. With dad, for example, at home, I periodically communicated in Ukrainian. Also, his wife’s relatives live there. Therefore, I follow all the news about Ukraine, I am aware of everything that happens there.

It was then that I entered the Kyiv Sportinternate. My childhood took place in Leninabad, which is now called Hujand. There I fell in love with football, when after lessons I chased a ball with friends. It was a great time: the ball, the street, the river ... - Dynamo representative Mikhail Mikhail, it seemed to have noticed you at the children's tournament and invited you to Kyiv.

Apparently, they saw my big eyes and a crazy desire to try himself in Dynamo smiles. I agreed and soon I was transferred from the Dushanbin Sportinternate to Kyiv. And in parallel, I trained in an arc under the leadership of Viktor Kolotov. No one could come close to the base if there was such a performer. Oleg with his game booked a stable place in the composition.

We, young guys, were even afraid to go into the dining room when the foundation was there. This now youth behaves in condensedly. And then every young man knew his place, iron discipline reigned. You must even calculate the moment when you could go to the masseur or to the same dining room. Even after the Dynamo school, the loads of Mikhail Fomenko seemed hellish? The guys suffered, and only those who could withstand this remained in the team.

I remember how I came to weighing in the morning. As it turned out, in a day I lost two or two and a half kilograms. Mikhail Ivanovich looked at me and said: “Oh, you need to hang the weights to your feet in order to return your weight.” Was it a sensational performance? We won the road thanks to the bucket of crepak, it was very difficult. The final with Dynamo fell on the day of Kyiv, there were many people on the Olympic.

Although we lost, the memories are extremely the best. We could not hold Shevchenko who designed a double. Apparently, it was the heyday of Andrew in Ukraine. At first, “Cork City” easily passed, but stumbled with the Moscow Lokomotiv. You also got red. But the second - for the breakdown of the attack. Dmitry Bulykin ran out into a counterattack, so I had to hold him by the T -shirt. This was enough to earn the second yellow card even before the break.

Everything turned out well - Sergey Bezhenar opened the score, then Bulykin equalized. But I failed the guys, I understand this. You are especially aware of such things when you become a coach. The football player analyzes the events in the field more emotionally. Is this a completely different football world? Good football players came from Europe, the overall level grew.

Clubs invested in infrastructure, built modern stadiums. It was a good experience. Let me not play for long for Chanchun Yatai, but it was informative. In M, the club President Yuri Kindzersky, due to the difficult financial situation, decided to stop funding, so I had to look for other options. How about ambitions to work in the Ukrainian Premier League? What to do? I myself do not want to ask a smile.

Therefore, while I work in Asia. However, I will be happy to return to Ukraine. This is my homeland, there is my house. Of course, I would like to try myself in UPL. Now is the new season and you are among the leaders. How about the championship? The guys have motivation, we think about gold. It all depends on many factors. But so far it is too early to make forecasts. Do they fulfill all the requirements?

Andrey and Alexei are considered leaders. As for Yuri Batyushin, he gradually adapts. I think that over time he will become a player of the main composition. And Neftchi will help to implement what we dream about. Author: L.
