- At that time, my parents were scared because we didn't know Moldova and left home for the first time outside of their country. After that, they realized that it was important for me, and that I would not be alone in Moldova.

How did you imagine the Moldovan championship? And what grade you gave it.

- The championship at that time had a very good level, I think I learned a lot, and I also gave the best of myself. This opened doors for me and was a plus, because every time I was called up to the national team, they took into account my consistency in club matches.

What was the atmosphere in the team at that time?

- We had a very good, strong team, with a lot of quality players, not to mention an impeccable coach, and I would like to welcome those with whom we were together at that time.

- With not a bad memory, but experience, I signed my contract at Charlton, and I found out that there were 6 months left until the end of the championship, and that I needed to get a work permit.
