In the glorious moment of Manchester City's victory, countless heartfelt images emerged, including the moment when Sim Zhenko shed tears on the trophy, which was even more touching. The Ukrainian warrior, in the midst of a war between his country and his family, put on the Ukrainian flag after the match, held up the Premier League trophy and cried, as a way to release his inner emotions.
At the age of 25, Sim Zhenko came on as a second-half substitute and made a crucial assist for Lodikasjandi, helping his team come back from a deficit to win the match against Villa. After the game, he was in tears, and at the prize-giving ceremony he decided to drape the trophy in the Ukrainian flag, dedicating this victory to his compatriots who are struggling in the midst of their suffering.
Xin Zhengao was overwhelmed with emotion and expressed his gratitude for the support given to him by Manchester City during this difficult time: I almost left soccer behind in that country's life-and-death moment, but I have received a lot of support during this period, and everyone's thoughts have been my greatest motivation. I would like to give everything to them, because everything they did for me, I remember and will never forget.
Simzhenko also said that he would like to bring the Premier League trophy back to Ukraine if he could: I am proud of the Ukrainian people and would like to bring this honor back to my homeland and dedicate it to all the Ukrainian people, who deserve it.
