Former Shakhtar footballer and Chornomorets coach Alexey Guy admitted he was wrong. Information appeared in the media that the former midfielder of the Ukrainian national team will enter the coaching staff of Shakhtar, which caused sharp criticism from Shakhtar’s ultras because of his pro-Russian statements.
According to football journalist Mikhail Spivakovsky, Alexey Guy said:
“I recently pulled myself together and re-read my 2018 interview. I saw in him a man who sincerely says what he thinks, but at the same time he is sincerely and deeply mistaken.
Today I regret not that I gave this interview, but that I did not notice things that since February 24, 2022 are unambiguous for any Ukrainian.
I sincerely apologize to everyone who understood already in 2014 that we are at war with an aggressor who wants to wipe our people off the face of the earth.”
Recall that Oleksiy Gai played for Shakhtar from 2000 to 2004, and also from 2006 to 2013. After the end of his football career, he worked as a mentor for Chornomorets.
From 2016 to 2018, Guy played for Kuban, and then in 2018 he said in an interview: “I was in Russia and did not see that people want to destroy Ukraine or make everything bad for us. I cannot say that Russia is the aggressor. I did not hold a candle, as they say.
