Dynamo U-19 midfielder Oleksandr Yatsyk helped the team achieve a scoring victory over Zorya (6:1) in the 3rd round of the Ukrainian Youth Championship, scoring a hat-trick. After the game, the midfielder shared his emotions and commented on the winning result.
— Congratulations on the victory, and you personally — with a hat trick! What are your impressions after defeating the opponent?
— Thank you, it's always nice to win. Today, we, three players working with the first team, were attracted to the Dynamo U-19 game. It's always nice to help win. All with victory!
— Many players from the Dynamo Academy played for Zorya today. Didn't this add a friendly mood to the match, because you know each other well?
- Yes, we had no right to lose today, because we have older and more experienced guys. Today we went out and proved it on the football field.
— Today you often found yourself at the forefront of the attack. Was it a coaching setup?
— Yes, the coach watched the opponent’s matches and in the pre-game training told me and Tsarenko to position themselves higher, and then bounce, handle the ball and move it forward.
— Is this the first hat-trick of your career? Is there a tradition to save a game jersey or ball after memorable matches?
- As far as I remember - yes. After the match, they gave me my portrait - probably I will keep it as a keepsake.
