Ivan Petryak is about to end his professional football career. About this midfielder Shakhtarnow acting on loan for Polandsaid the press service of the Zhytomyr club.
According to the footballer, another serious injury prompted him to think about the possibility of hanging up his boots.
“My situation is not easy. I had a very complicated injury, and not only the team, but also football is under threat. I tore all the ligaments in my leg and had surgery, but it was not worked as it should, then the second one didn’t work as well.
Then it is necessary to do the third. Thank God, let’s put it this way – I’m not looking for someone to blame, people know how I feel about them and, well, that’s how it happened. There the operation was easy and could be done in any basement, but here it happened, and this year it happened. Almost a year has passed, yes.
Is it incredibly difficult? Morally. The roof was moving, hard, still hard. You sit at home, watch everything, but you can’t train. You move from crutches to new crutches – then surgery again. Then he walked again – again on crutches. It’s normal, I have a good subscription there in the operating room, so… I hope this will all be over.
I try to smile a little, somewhere, about it. I am the type of person, I will never show what is happening inside me. It may be bad in some places, but I hope that I will jump through this hole, and now everything depends only on me, and again I want to thank the management of the club for believing in me and inviting me .
Are there any thoughts about retirement in your career? There are no opinions, there are circumstances that can complete it. Well, I was very close, very close,” Petryak noted.
Remember that the player used to be Shakhtar praised the performance of the Russian team and received a fine for it.
