Ivan Kalyuzhnyi: "It was a dream come true"

Ukraine midfielder Ivan Kalyuzhny commented on the victory over Georgia in the Nations League match on MEGOGO.

- Ivan, congratulations on your victory! Is this a dream debut for you?

- Thank you for the congratulations! Indeed, it was a dream come true for me to play for the national team. I thank the coach for his trust. I also thank the coach at the club for preparing me. It was a dream come true.

- Has the team congratulated you yet?

- Yes, the guys congratulated me. Before the match, I was determined to come out and play only to win, to help my team.

- What are your thoughts on the difficult victory?

- Georgia is the leader of the group, and it was not easy for all the opponents against them. But that makes the game more interesting if it's not easy. I hope we followed all the coach's instructions.

- You received a yellow card in the first half. Did you keep this in mind later on?

- It's not good when the midfielder gets a warning almost at the beginning of the match, and at such a moment. I shouldn't have done that. Next time I won't do it, so that I don't have to think about how to play more carefully throughout the match.

- Did the Georgian national team surprise you in any way?

- They are strong individually, especially the attacking group. It was not easy to play with them.
