Polesya striker Filip Budkovskiy shared his impressions after the historic victory in the match of the 10th round of the Ukrainian championship against Dynamo Kyiv (3:2).
Filip Budkowski- Filip, how hard was the match against Kyiv for Zhytomyrians?
- We realised who we were up against and that the game would not be easy. We conceded a quick goal, which turned our team on, after which we were able to show character and score back.
- It seems that the suspension motivated "Polesie" even more?
- It is always hard to play without one player, but we played for ourselves and for Morozko. Different things happen in football, we supported Eugene and now we move on after a willful victory.
- When you score a goal against Dynamo, are the emotions special?
- I haven`t had such emotions for a long time, because you play against Dynamo, and when you go out and score against such an opponent, of course, emotions overflow, but it can`t be conveyed in words. The main thing was to come out and help the team, and it worked.
- What did Yuriy Kalitvintsev tell you personally after the game? What were his instructions at halftime?
- He didn`t say anything to me personally after the match. The coach congratulated everyone on the victory. What kind of instruction can there be when you lose. I had to go out and help the team.
- Yesterday's Dynamo, with whom you played, became weaker than before?
- Now all the teams are plus or minus the same, so the more interesting is our championship now.
- If you look at the table now, Polesie is at the top of the UPL. Will you challenge Shakhtar?
- We go on the pitch to win, and we will look at the table later.
- After Dynamo you also have tough matches in the calendar - Vorskla, then Zorya. What is the atmosphere in the locker room before such matches?
- There is always motivation. In such a difficult time, which the country is going through, I want to thank our defenders and defenders and those who help them for defending our state and going to victory. And we are motivated at this time to go out and win on the football field. We always have the same atmosphere - a fighting atmosphere to go out there and win.
