This gesture should comfort Andriy Voronin, at least for a moment, after the Russian attack on Ukraine. Fans of his club Dynamo Moscow chanted his name as a sign of solidarity.
These scenes are balm for the battered soul of Andriy Voronin (42). Probably the best-known Ukrainian in Bundesliga history (155 games, 48 goals for Gladbach, Cologne, Leverkusen, Hertha and Düsseldorf) is currently trembling for the future of his homeland, like so many of his compatriots, but experienced the Russian attack from a special constellation.
Voronin has been an assistant coach at Dynamo Moscow for a year and a half, where he ended his active career in 2014. After the Russian escalation and the invasion of the neighboring country, the former striker is retiring from his job for the time being. Meanwhile, their own fans sent a clear signal on Saturday (February 26, 2022).
Dynamo Moscow fans celebrate Andriy Voronin
The video of Dynamo’s start of the second half of the season in the Russian Premier League at FK Khimki, which was initially published on Instagram, has now spread to other social networks. In the video clip, which is a good ten seconds long, the fans of the capital club who have traveled with them sing the name of their assistant coach, singing “Andriy Voronin” again and again.
