- How difficult was it to play in the gale force wind?
- The game was really hard because of the very strong wind, but the weather was the same for both teams. After the match against Oleksandriya we felt tired, but we have everything we need to recover, so we were well prepared.
- You have scored in two matches in a row. How can you explain it?
- I had two shots on goal and scored twice (laughs). But it happened as a result of team actions. Their result translated into my two goals. As a team, we strive to win every match and fight for each other.
- Describe the goal against Dynamo as you saw it with your own eyes.
- I saw Vadym Milko making a pass and running to close the far post. I saw that the ball was flying past everyone and towards me, there was no one else around. I decided to take a one-touch shot instead of receiving it and going closer to the goal.
- Do you practice such shots in training?
- Yes, we close the passes from the flanks with one touch, so I think that's why we managed to score.
- How many goals do you manage to score out of ten attempts?
- Not to lie, I score half of the ten.
- Dynamo finished 4th last season, and now they're even lower. Are matches against them still special?
- "Dynamo is a brand of Ukrainian football, no matter how you slice it. Every game against them gives motivation to any team. Despite the fact that the leaders - Yarmolenko is injured, Shaparenko has recently recovered from an injury, Dynamo is still Dynamo.
