About a year ago, Illia Zarbarnyi moved to Paris Saint-Germain. The Ukrainian took stock during an interview with the official website of the capital club. “It was a special day, sometimes we start a new chapter in our life and there are a lot of positive emotions. The memories came flooding back to me and it was crazy. There was a lot of love from the people, from the supporters. It’s difficult to join a new club, but I feel like everyone has helped me. When I was young, I never thought I would become a professional footballer. Things that need to happen happen. So, when you grow up, when you gain playing time and when you become a professional footballer, when you join the biggest club in the world, there is enormous pride. Football is like that, you can win, you can lose, but you just have to stay stable, keep working as much as you can.
The defender spoke about preparing for the new season ahead. “The most important thing is to come back and feel positive. But this atmosphere is incredible to wait for this date and prepare for it. For our part, we just have to stay moving, stay fit and ready. The first matches arrive very quickly. He also spoke about the European Super Cup against Aston Villa on August 12. “We just have to do the same thing as always. We can win, we can lose, that’s football. But as I see it, we are a big team, we have a strong group and we obviously want to win. We are starting the season with two very big matches and it is very good preparation (…) We want to achieve everything that is possible. Take the matches one after the other. Stay focused and move forward step by step on each match and each trophy.” Zabarnyi is ready to break it all this season with Paris.
