— The bad weather disturbed us a bit — cold, rain, wind. Everyone froze today.
— After the game in Spain against “Real Sociedad”, was there time to recover?
— Yes, we came to our senses a bit. We needed to switch to “Veres” immediately to achieve success in this match.
— You started the game on the bench. With a score of 1:0, was there a thought that your team could build on the success?
— When you score a goal, the game becomes easier.
— What do you think about Vanat's game, currently the best scorer in the UPL?
— Let him score even more.
— Did “Dynamo” rightfully beat “Veres” today?
— It was not an easy game with mutual chances for success.
— Did you watch the game between “Polesie” and “Shakhtar” yesterday?
— I watched starting from the second half. “Polesie” is a good team that has not had the best results lately. I did not completely believe that they could achieve victory. Yes, we currently have a “+10” points lead over “Shakhtar”, but there are still many matches to play, plus the Donetsk team will still have a make-up game in Kryvyi Rih.
— You moved from “Dnipro-1” to Kyiv’s “Dynamo” in the summer. Have you become one of the team?
— I am gradually getting used to the guys, to the team. I have not quite settled in Kyiv yet — we have a lot of travels and flights across Europe. There has been very little free time. I will go home to Lutsk for vacation.
