Maxim Bragaru: "Even though the ball hit the defender, it still landed where I was shooting"

Dynamo midfielder Maxim Bragaru scored a goal against Luhansk's Zorya (2-0) in the 6th round of the Ukrainian championship, and after the game shared his impressions of the game.

- My impressions are very positive. The most important thing is that we won today. I managed to score my debut goal for Dynamo. I am grateful to the team for this. And we are moving on.

- Did you have a feeling that you would be able to excel today?

- I go into every match with the idea of scoring for the team to win. The ball is important to me, I can say that. I will continue to work and do my best.

- It seems that things were not easy for Dynamo from the very beginning. What changed during the match?

- We can say that we just couldn't score, the ball wasn't going into the net. We created chances, hit the post and the crossbar, and put pressure on the opponent. Yes, we failed to score, but in the end we scored twice and won.

- Usually, after a break for national team matches, league matches are not easy. Was it the same this time?

- I wouldn't say there were any difficulties. Usually, everyone comes to the game with the maximum attitude to win, and today we did it.

- Today Seballos finally played. How would you rate the newcomer? They say he looks very good in training...

- This is not a question for me, but for the coach. I don't want to and can't evaluate my partner's playing qualities, it's the prerogative of the coaching staff.

- When you came on as a substitute, what instructions did the coaches give you? What was required of you?

- There was only one instruction - to play football, score goals and win the game.

- At the moment when you scored the ball, did you deliberately hit the far corner, taking into account the goalkeeper's position?

- I took out the defender and shot to the far corner. Even though the ball hit the defender, it still went in where I was shooting.

- Next week there will be two matches, the game with Vorskla is on Wednesday. How are you going to prepare?

- The most important thing is to recover well, this will be in the foreground, to approach the upcoming game in maximum condition, to show my football and win.
