Journalist Mykhailo Spivakovskiy says that Bruninho categorically did not want to go to Kryvyi Rih and even to Kyiv.
"Bruninho objectively did not want to stay in Ukraine. And what to do with such a player? Where to find motivation for him?
Or just fight with him all the time when a person simulates injuries before going conditionally to Kryvyi Rih? Although, why conditionally, unconditionally, or for an away match somewhere towards Kyiv against 'Epicenter'. Well, why do we need these tortures?" - Spivakovskiy asks in the "TaToTake" program.
Finally, he was sold to "Maccabi" Haifa.
