Goalkeeper of Kyiv “Dynamo” Denis Ignatenko commented on his team’s victory over Danish “Esbjerg” (2:0) in today’s friendly match during a broadcast on the club’s YouTube channel, in which he came on as a substitute in the 76th minute of the match.
— For a goalkeeper, how much more important is it to keep a clean sheet than for the team to win?
— Of course, keeping a clean sheet is very good, very pleasant. It gives you confidence, and in the next match, you go out more confident.
— When you came on as a substitute, there was a round of applause from the stands—from Pihalenko, Karavaev, Yarmolenko. What did you feel at that moment?
— (Laughs). Honestly, it was very, very pleasant. I know they were joking—they have a good attitude towards me. I’m very happy.
— “Dynamo” has been in training camp for more than a month. How did this period go for you?
— Of course, it’s hard, I want to go home, but this is training camp, all teams go through it. I think our team went through this training camp very well.
— Alexander Karavaev applauded after your save. Share the secrets.
— There is no secret here—training, training, and more training.
