Now former Dynamo goalkeeper Heorhii Bushchan has bid a warm farewell to Dynamo fans on his Instagram page after concluding the transfer to Al Shabab FC.
My native club, my native supporters…
It’s very hard to find words to describe what I’m feeling right now. My heart breaks at the thought of leaving my home. The team that has become my family. The fans that have become my friends.
I want you to know: I remember every day at the club, every person who was there and supported me in difficult moments. I wouldn’t have become the player you know without the help of my team, management and fans. Only together did we become champions and experience a sense of pride. Only together did we feel the taste of victories and the bitterness of failures. I am nothing without you, and I will always be a part of you. Because we are a family.
Almost 16 years have passed like 16 days. I remember my first day at the club as vividly as my last… today. It’s time for us to move on together with you. I’m leaving with my head held high, knowing that I did everything for the diamond with letter D on the heart. I’m leaving, knowing that there’s a worthy replacement for me who will meet the standards that you and I have set. I believe in Dynamo and I will always believe!
Just as I believe that many of my fan friends, heroes defending Ukraine, will return home with Ukraine’s victory. Although, unfortunately, I will no longer be able to tell many of them this...
I love you. I love Kyiv. I love Dynamo.
Yours, Heorhii Bushchan…
