After several years of frozen war, the Russians attacked Ukraine openly again. Vladimir Putin’s army is destroying cities and killing civilians. Many Ukrainian sportsmen, including the brothers Klitschko and Oleksandr Usyk, put on uniforms and defend their homeland. Others support the country at least on social media. And, one of the most successful Ukrainian footballers in history still remains in Russia.
The former player is an employee of Zenit Saint Petersburg. The Ukrainian, who played for the club in 2007-2009 and 2013-2015, has been working there since 2017 as an assistant coach of the first team. And so far he does not comment on political events.
Tymoshchuk’s behavior was criticized by another former Ukrainian representative, Yevhen Levchenko. – Russians, are you afraid to leave your homes? After all, it is the Ukrainians that lie under your tanks. Tola, you are from Ukraine, how can you be silent and continue working there? We played for the national team together, we proudly wore her T-shirt, we listened to the national anthem. We used to win and lose together, and now you just keep quiet? How can you live with it? -. It turns out that there are more accusations against Tymoszczuk.
Tymoszczuk is not going to keep … his daughters. “Due to sanctions against Russia regarding payment transactions, our client will probably not be able to pay for the maintenance of his daughters, Noah and Mia, as long as these sanctions remain in place,” the footballer’s lawyer said in an official court letter, and the story is told by “Bild”.
Tymoszczuk, the legend of Ukrainian football
Tymoszczuk is one of the most successful players in the history of this country. He played as many as 144 matches in the national team, played at the 2006 World Cup, where Ukraine reached the quarter-finals, and at Euro 2012 and 2016. Tymoszczuk’s career ended after losing a match with Poland (0: 1) in Marseille, where he played for a minute.
In his football career, the Ukrainian won three championships of his country, two championships of Germany and Russia. He has played with Bayern three times in the final of the Champions League, winning it in 2013. With Zenit, he won the UEFA Cup. The best footballer of Ukraine in 2006 and 2007 also received many medals of state rank for outstanding achievements in sport.
