Taras Mikhavko: "I am very grateful for the trust of the coaching staff"

Dynamo defender Taras Mikhavko shared his emotions on the Profootball YouTube channel after the match of the 18th round of the Ukrainian championship against Metalist 1925.

- Taras, you made your debut for Dynamo's first team. What does it mean to you?

- Of course, I am already pleased to make my debut for such a team as Dynamo Kyiv. Thank you very much for the trust of the coaching staff, thank you to the guys in the team for their help. It was a dream since childhood, because I support Dynamo in Ukrainian football. I have always dreamed of playing for the first team. I am very grateful to everyone who supports me. Thank God, everything turned out so well that we won.

- Do you feel any psychological pressure from the talk that you might be Dynamo's main player?

- It was a bit difficult, but after playing a few matches at the training camp, I got used to it and there was nothing difficult. In general, I don't read what is written about me in the press.

- Do your parents worry a lot?

- Yes, of course, they watch the matches. My friends also watch and worry.

- What did your team-mates advise you?

- They told me not to worry. You need to play calmly and reliably from the first minutes, and then it will go from there. I tried to do everything.

- What did your team-mates say to you after the second missed goal?

- They supported me, told me not to be upset, because there was such an episode: I went ahead, but the ball slipped under my foot because of the slippery pitch. Again, the guys just supported me.
