Vitaliy Lobko (photo: fcdynamo.com)- LNZ is the outsider of the championship. Was there any relaxation before the game or after the two quick goals?
- No, there was no relaxation before the game. Our coaches tell us every day that we can't lose points, and every match is essentially for the championship, because now we are in a position in the standings where we have one point plus, and we have to win all the matches. And after the quick goals, it just became a little calmer, but we didn't stop, we kept going forward and scored more goals.
- What instructions did the coach give you when he brought you on as a substitute?
- The instruction was to grab all the balls up front so that there was constant pressure on the LNZ defenders. Also, to find my moment and score a goal.
- In your first goal, the key was your readiness to put the ball through with the first touch? Is it a trained manoeuvre?
- I saw that Danylo Ishchenko was passing to me. Then I quickly turned my head to see what the situation was behind me. I saw that the defender was running at me, and I immediately threw the ball past him. Then I went out almost one-on-one and prepared a left-footed shot.
- In the second episode, you literally intercepted the ball from your partner Kalyn. Was it planned or did it happen spontaneously because you had a better position?
- I saw that Vladyslav Kalyn was running straight at me, so I decided to take the ball from him and shoot on goal. It's good that everything worked out well. It's a striker's job to be in the right place and score as many goals as possible.
- You are a real joker for the team, having scored all seven goals this season after coming on as a substitute. What is the secret to this success?
- I don't have any secret, just a special attitude to the game and a desire to score as many goals as possible.
- You scored 13 goals last season. What is your personal goal for this season?
- Probably, this season I aim to score at least as many as last season, that is, at least 13, and to have a very good season in general and, most importantly, to become champions.
