Tetyana Romanenko: I play guitar and meditate in quarantine

Another guest of the #GOnline project at UAF's Instagram page became a player of the French "Reims" and the women's national team of Ukraine Tatiana Romanenko, who played 60 matches in the national team, scoring 11 goals.

- Tatiana, what are your favorite positions on the field?

- In general, I play in midfield, on the flanks, sometimes in attack. But it's difficult there, because my body structure is thin, maybe I don't have enough physical mass somewhere. I still like to play in the center, but I rarely manage to gain the trust of coaches there. I try to prove myself wherever I am trusted to benefit the team by scoring goals and assists.

- How did you decide to become a football player in general?

- That's what happened. I did not vote - football chose me. Since childhood, she played with the boys in the yard, and then at school she joined the team. After that, it went and went. For me, football is not just a sport, it is life. There are emotions, there are goals that can be achieved. My whole family is athletic.  

- You're in France now. How is quarantine going?

- We came from the tournament, which took place in Spain, to France, and two days later we were told that the quarantine begins. But it was not possible to fly to Kyiv, because the tickets were very expensive. Stayed here. That's why I try to spend my free time for some reason - to play the guitar, to meditate. I am still studying at the University of Reims at the Faculty of Economics.

- Do many fans go to football in France?

- It depends on who we play against. In the second league there were few, there were no stands at the stadium. Now, after reaching the top league, we will have an arena with stands.

- Who is your favorite football player?

- In men's football it's Ronaldinho. I think he could have revealed his talent even better, but he depended a little on the mood. I also liked Zidane.

- Were your parents against you playing football?

- They supported me. But when I went from Odessa to Kherson, my father went with me. He returned home alone. Mom was shocked.

- How did you get to Reims?

- I wanted to play in Europe. Here is a different level, a different football, a different organization. In "Reims" I became the first legionnaire of the team, we went to the elite. All is well.

- Which club would you like to play for in Ukraine? Soon all UPL clubs will have to have women's teams.

- My choice would be in favor of Odessa "Chernomorets", but, unfortunately, he is now in the first league.

- Who would you like to be if you didn't choose football?

- As a child I dreamed of being a school principal, then - to work at a bakery, I wanted to be an astronaut. I also really like dancing, especially salsa.
