- In your last two matches, you've been leading the team onto the pitch with the captain's armband, how did you get it and how do you feel wearing it?
- This is due to the fact that our captain Nazar Balaba is currently injured, by the way, I wish him a speedy recovery and return to the field. But the feeling is good, pleasant.
- Have you taken on additional responsibilities and how are you coping with them? Do you now have the right to talk to the referee?
- Now there is a rule that if the team captain is a goalkeeper, you need to choose a vice-captain from the field players who will talk to the referee. For me, the armband just gives me confidence, I can give my teammates more suggestions. In general, nothing has changed.
