Ruslan Malinovskyi arrives in Trabzon: First words from the star footballer after the transfer

Continuing to strengthen its squad ahead of the new season in the Süper Lig, Trabzonspor has brought experienced player Ruslan Malinovskyi, who has been on their agenda for a long time, to the city. It was learned that Malinovskyi was welcomed by the burgundy-blue fans. The Ukrainian footballer is expected to sign an official contract with Trabzonspor following medical examinations.

An enthusiastic welcome was organized for the 33-year-old player at Trabzon Airport. While fans showed their affection for their new signing, Malinovskyi expressed his satisfaction with the welcome.

MALINOVSKYI'S TRANSFER ASSESSMENT

Answering questions from journalists in Trabzon, Ruslan Malinovskyi made the following assessments:

"From the first day, I saw that Trabzonspor's interest was serious. I previously had teammates like Ekuban, Zubkov, and Batagov. I received the necessary information from them. My discussions with our coach impressed me a lot in terms of football. The fact that the club will play in the Europa League was also influential for me. I want to thank everyone. We talked about this with our coach. We had discussions about my roles and what I have done before. We are a team made up of young players. I want to be an example to my teammates. This will not only be in matches, but also in training and outside."

"CULTURES ARE DIFFERENT BUT..."

"I will try to guide them. During the many years I played in Ukraine, we used to hold our mid-season training camps in Turkey. I had information that the people of the country are loving and passionate. I know this place, I am aware of what a beautiful place it is. Cultures are different, but I always say the same thing; we must adapt to cultures. We will look at the league, we need to make good preparations. Of course, we will look at what comes after. I can play in different roles."

"I mostly played in a position where I approached the defense from the midfield and built the game. I also played as a number 10. I will play wherever the team needs me. I am a player who can play in different roles."

Emphasizing that he wants to be an example to young players with his experience and leadership, the new signing said, "This will continue not only in matches, but also in training and off the field."

Another name added to the squad at Trabzonspor was young footballer Thierry Karadeniz. With the inclusion of Karadeniz in the team, the burgundy-blues appear to have largely completed their squad structuring for the new season. Both players are expected to take part in the team's pre-season training camp, which will begin on Monday, July 6, at the Mehmet Ali Yılmaz Facilities.
