- In the 10th minute, you beat half the opposing team before opening the scoring.

- Not half the team, but only two opponents. Then you rolled the ball into the far corner of the goal.

- Didn't you think the victory would be easy?

- No, I didn't. In the second half, we also started confidently, had chances near the opponent's goal and could have converted them. If we had made it 2-0, it would have been easier for us.

- Before the match, everyone considered Zorya to be the favourite. Were you upset that you didn't win?

- Of course, we were upset. It happens, it was probably not our day. We create a lot of chances but don't score. Guerrero went one-on-one with the goalkeeper, then in the 86th minute he missed the far corner of the goal. What did the guests do? I don't remember anything except the penalty kick. I still don't understand how the visitors equalised.

- Were you physically able to withstand the high pace of the match?

- I don't know. Everything was fine.

- Were you satisfied with your performance?

- I think I played the match at an average level.

- All teams have two rounds left to play this season. What are Zorya's goals at the end of the season?

- We want to win twice and go on holiday with a good result.

- Have you received an invitation to the Ukrainian youth team yet?

- Not yet. Let's see.
