Former Dynamo forward Artem Kravets told if he felt the pressure of comparisons with Andriy Shevchenko early in his career.
Art Kravets- You are 19 years old, you are the hero of Dynamo, they call you "the new Shevchenko". How did you perceive it? Did celebrity disease knock on the door a little?
- No, I did not have star sickness. Maybe some self-confidence, but still such that I felt like a blindfold - this was not it. I was injured very quickly, and it all came to naught very quickly. There wasn't a long moment of enjoyment.
- In general, the "new Shevchenko" comparison had some effect on you, your career? Did it put pressure on you, encouraged you, made you arrogant, made people around you have high hopes for you?
- Everyone in our country, who more or less starts playing and scoring, is called "the new Shevchenko". I don't know; I didn't pay much attention to such comparisons. I realized that I was the "second Shevchenko", I still have to work and work.
