Ukrainian defender of “Los Angeles” Artem Smolyakov commented on his debut goal in MLS.
Artem SmolyakovAbout the match: It’s a shame we lost. We continued to fight and managed to score two goals in the first half. In the second half, we looked quite confident, but unfortunately, we couldn’t score. Even after the red card, it seems we played better than the opponent.
About the goal: It was a striking position, so why not attempt it. No one said anything special about the goal; just after the game, the guys noted that it was very beautiful.
Regarding emotions after the goal: There wasn’t any special joy — we had to catch up, so we quickly returned to the game. The support of fans is top-notch. The atmosphere here is, of course, awesome. You step out to play in front of a full stadium.
About bonuses: What other bonuses? (Laughs).
Who from our team congratulated: Chobotенко, Krushynskyi, Nazarenko, Morozenko, Mustafaiev, Budkivskyi and many others.
