Judging by titles alone, the 2012/13 campaign was a resounding success for Anatoliy Tymoschuk. The midfielder won a historic treble with Bayern Munich, lifting the league, DFB-Pokal and UEFA Champions League titles.
Yet anyone who knows
the ambitious Ukrainian national team captain will be well aware that
last season was not always enjoyable for ‘Tymo’, who made just 23 appearances for the Bavarians, frequently finding himself occupying a place on the bench come kick-off.
Conscious of the fact that, at 34, his playing days are drawing to a
close, Tymoschuk decided to bring an end to his four-year spell in
Munich, where he won a total of seven trophies, and return to Zenit St.
Petersburg. Tymoschuk had a successful stint at the Russian club between
2007 and 2009 and is now keen for regular playing time again in order
to help fulfil his next objective: participation at the 2014 FIFA World
Cup Brazil™.
