Chiviol: I took the initiative to leave the team on loan, and I got stable time in Porto

November 14 News Kiviol was loaned out to Porto by Arsenal this season. He was selected for the latest Polish squad and accepted an official interview with the Polish Football Association before the game against the Netherlands.

Moved from Anderlecht to Podbrezova, and now on loan from Arsenal to Porto. Both times seem like a step back, but they actually take you two steps forward.

"It's hard to compare these two situations. I personally don't think either of them is a step back. Well, going from Anderlecht to the Slovak League may seem a little strange, but to me it's a step forward. A step forward. In Belgium I was still playing in the youth team, and in Slovakia I entered the senior team. In addition, I also experienced independent life for the first time, such as living alone and handling various affairs while being close to home. "

"As for Arsenal. With Porto, it may seem like a step back from a league perspective, but definitely not from a club perspective. In Porto, I got what I lacked in London, which is a stable chance to play. "

"In short, these decisions are all right for me. Someone who can be trusted. There is nothing to hesitate about in Porto. Anyone who knows football knows how big a club this is. The move from Belgium to Slovakia is well thought out. This offer is not only attractive from a sporting perspective, but also from a life perspective. It was also very attractive. It was not an adventure. I went to see it and gave it a try and it was well worth it. "

Your last conversation with Arsenal coach Arteta

"There was nothing difficult about it. It was known that I would be loaned to Porto. The coach emphasized that it was a big club and wished me good luck. What was more difficult was that I had never done this before, but I felt that it was time to talk to him face to face. "

You entered the starting lineup from the beginning at Porto

"It's a pity that the transfer was completed on the last day of the deadline. I didn't even have time to get to know the team during the national team training. It wasn't until after the games against the Netherlands and Finland that I flew to Portugal with Young. Fortunately, I had Time to prepare tactically. Coach Fareoli had several individual conversations to explain the details and analyze the game. Because of this, I got the chance to start at the beginning, which was a very positive signal for me to play the main role at the beginning of my new club."
