Midfielder of Kyiv "Dynamo" Alexander Yatsyk, who is currently on loan at Luhansk "Zarya", commented on his team's victory over "Left Bank" (2:0) in the 11th round of the Ukrainian Championship. It is worth noting that the Dynamo player was the author of the second goal in this match.
Alexander Yatsyk. Photo — FC «Zarya»— Sasha, congratulations on the victory! When you score this season, "Zarya" always wins. It was the case in the match against "Inhulets", and it happened now as well. So you are the club's talisman?
— Probably. So I need to score more often!
— Did your goal decide the match?
— Yes, this goal helped us to control the game. Then we played according to the score and brought the match to the result we needed.
— Have you had similar goals in your career? You hit the goalkeeper of "Left Bank" from about 27 meters, didn’t you?
— I don't remember such scored goals.
— A week ago, "Zarya" lost to "Kryvbas" in the Ukrainian Championship. Surely this week your mood wasn't the best?
— Of course, but we made conclusions and will try to play better. We have nowhere to retreat. For us, every game is very important; we don't want to be in the lower part of the standings. Everyone at "Zarya" wants to fight for the European Cups.
— The first half for Luhansk "Zarya" was quite difficult today...
— The game was scheduled for 1:00 PM, and maybe we just hadn’t woken up yet.
— What did you see in the moment with the penalty at 45+3 minutes of the match?
— There was a foul on Budkovsky. Our forward, being in the penalty area, wanted to shoot at the goal, specifically into the unprotected corner of the net, but he was hit on the leg. Philipp couldn't quite hit the ball.
— If someone who hadn't seen this match asks you whether "Zarya" deserved to win, what would you say?
— We won quite justifiably.
