The transfer of Jewhen Konoplanka is by far the loudest movement of this transfer window in PKO Ekstraklasa. The Ukrainian player in an interview with the Cracovia club media revealed why he decided on the offer from Krakow.
Winger with an interesting past
Let us remind you that Konoplanka in the past represented the colors of, among others Sevilli, Schalke 04, Shakhtar and Dniper Dnieptopietrowsk, with whom he reached the final of the Europa League played in Warsaw. A month later he was already a player of the club from Andalusia.
On the Cracovia channel on YouTube, an interview was held with the Ukrainian player. Why did he decide on the offer of the club from Krakow? – I talked to the president, then to the coach. They told me they wanted to see me in Krakow. It was a pleasure, the talks took place in a family atmosphere. That’s why I decided to come here. It feels great when you feel needed, he said.
– Now I try to remember those who have forgotten about me. I want to show that I can still play at a high level. I am healthy, hungry for wins and games – continued Konoplanka.
The new winger of Cracovia has 86 games behind the Ukrainian national team. Together with Sevilla, he also managed to win the Europa League. In the first season of the game for Sevilla, he played in 52 games, scoring 8 goals and 8 assists. Among the goals they were as special as the one against Villarreal (video below). The season later went to Schalke 04, where he scored 6 hits in the 2016/17 season.
