- Everyone saw how the match developed, it was a difficult opponent, but that's why we play football, to win, to fight for the championship.
- How do you feel after the illness? How difficult is it to recover from it?
- I hadn't returned to optimal condition yet, I wasn't ready to play the full 90 minutes, and the coach saw that. Yes, it was difficult, but every day we add to it so that it lasts for the whole game.
- At the end of the match, both teams were losing their nerves, was it difficult to control yourself at the end of the match, or was everything under control?
- We understood that we had scored at the end and that we had to play with a cool head to bring the game to its logical conclusion, so we did. But of course, due to the red card, very aggressive play from the opponent, and from us, the match turned out to be interesting for the fans.
- How would you assess the refereeing during today's match?
- I don't know, I'd rather not comment on anything, so that people don't say that the players are saying something. They have their own committee of referees who control decision-making.
- Last question, how can you assess the chances of today's opponent to qualify for the European competitions?
- They are a very good team, they play football and try not to kick the ball. Of course, Kryvbas, Rukh and Polissia are also in the running, but it's football, it will be what it will be.
