Ruslan Malinovskiy, a half-back for Ukraine's national team and newcomer to French "Olympique" from Marseille, shared some thoughts about his new experience with the official club website.

"I spent three wonderful seasons in Italy's Serie A, gained great experience playing in the Champions League and Europa League. I believe I am ready for French league games. Of course, everything will be shown on the field, but I have a desire to improve and move forward with my new team.

I want to play as many matches as possible for «Marseille» and help the team qualify for European competitions. Fans dream of such tournaments as the Champions League. I remember my emotions when you face the continent's best teams. And, of course, it would be very much wanted to win the French championship."—noted the Ukrainian player.
