— Oleksiy, how do you feel after the injury? Having a hard time getting into the rhythm of the game?

— Before we played three days ago, I trained for, you could say, three days. It was difficult, but there were emotions and I wanted to win and help the team. Everything turned out that way.

— When did you feel that the team could bring the game to victory?

— We had such an approach to the game that we let the opponent act as the number one player and move back. In principle, we did it, and the main thing is that we succeeded. We acted on counterattacks, and when we scored the first goal, confidence came. After that, the opponent started to open zones for us, and we took advantage of it.

— Did the fact that the game gave you personally new strength?

— Of course, when everything succeeds, and the team also scores goals, all this inspires and gives new strength. And your emotions give you strength and you run, run... Every time you win, you are filled with strength.
