Maxim Levitsky: “I wanted to finish, but there was excitement”

The goalkeeper of the Grozny “Terek” gave an interview to the Sport Today correspondent with difficulty. “Terek” lost to “Nosta” - 0: 2. Levitsky looked as if the season had just ended. And the decisive match was lost for entering the Premier League.

- What happened?

- I do not know. We'll figure out. To be honest ... I expected a lot more from myself. What didn’t work out? It seems that age is not the one to break psychologically. But it’s hard ... Almost without moments, and we lose 0-2.

- They say that you did not complete the installation of the coach.

- All the games that I played at my training camp looked much more interesting than today. I don’t know what happened. Maybe the opponent ... did something like that ... Eh ...

- Maxim, you are all going to some clubs. "Siberia". "Terek". Not tired?

- Now there is such a mood that I myself ask myself the question: is there enough to stop people from growing? I do not know. Honestly, in the winter I was not going to pursue a career. But he played at the tournament in Moscow for the second league and felt that excitement had awakened. Let's see how the next matches will go.

- If anything, will you go to Ukraine?

- No, I won’t go. I live in Moscow, a citizen of Russia. To Ukraine - if only to visit my parents. And that’s all. But I'm talking about something else. Thoughts slipped to complete a football career.

- Goalkeepers can play up to 50 years.

- Yes Yes. But after this game ... Never a goal was really hit, but we missed twice. Very dissatisfied with myself.

- Do you often think about leaving?

- After the defeats. This is depression. It happens to every person. Then ... tomorrow ... the sun will come out. Maybe other thoughts will come up. Unless, of course, fall asleep succeeds.

- Something you are very close to taking an ordinary defeat.

- Because I set myself serious tasks. And I think that “Terek” in the selection of performers should be a contender for the first two places in the division. No, I liked Nosta. But she just was faster.

- 41 matches ahead!

- Yes I know. Some teams have not yet begun the season. But then corrected.

- I asked why you go to clubs inexplicably. Are you in the Premier League?

- There were conversations. But the most concrete proposal came from Terek.

- But you want to return to the Premier League?

“I want, of course.” There are such thoughts.

- Either you finish, then you are in the Premier League.

- I want, you know, to enter the Premier League with a new team, and not just get an offer. That would be nice.

- But you only have veterans playing.

- And without veterans, nowhere. No team could solve problems without veterans.

- Come on. Amkar, Spartak (Nalchik) ...

- Nalchik also had experienced people in defense. And remember Khimki. There are a lot of players who played there. So, only veterans will have enough strength for such a long tournament.
