Dynamo Kyiv striker Vladyslav Vanat gave an interview to vZbirna on the train on his way to the Ukraine national team training camp.
- You are leading the Ukrainian league scoring race. Are you ready to score for the national team?
- Let's see. If it works out, I will be very happy.
- Who among the Dynamo teammates is the best assistant for you?
- Everyone can give. Even Bushchan. Zhora can do everything. But we have played combinations with everyone (smiles) .
- How do you support the newcomer to the national team - Volodymyr Brazhko?
- He has been preparing for this for a very long time and was very happy. I believe that in such a team, no one needs to be supported in any special way. He knows everything.
- Is there serious competition among the forwards in the national team?
- Yes, it is. We will train, whoever is the best will play. We all respect each other.
- Do you follow Dovbyk in Girona?
- Both him and Vita Tsygankov. Artem is a good guy and a good footballer, it's a pleasure to communicate with him. They are great, I'm very happy for them, they glorify Ukraine and raise our profile in Europe.
- Ukraine is generally not very lucky in the playoffs. How will it be this time?
- (Smiles). I don't know, I can't guess. I hope that the coaches will prepare us and we will show our best game.
- What can you say about Bosnia and Herzegovina?
- Closer to the game, we will analyse this team, then we can say something. But at this stage, I think there are no passable opponents. Everyone is playing to win. One game - it will be difficult with anyone.
- What keeps us motivated?
- Our fans. Our soldiers who are defending Ukraine. I want to say a big thank you to them and make them happy.
