— Vlade, where is your smile?

— I am a bit exhausted after the game.

— This is your second championship. What will you primarily remember about this season?

— The victory over Oleksandriya, 3:0 (16th round of UPL, — ed. note).

— Why that match?

— I think that match decided a lot.

— Did the draw with Koloss spoil your mood?

— I don’t know how it is for others, but it spoiled mine. However, undefeated in this championship — and thank God for that.

— For the second time in a row, you became the top scorer of the Ukrainian championship. What are your emotions about that?

— The championship has not ended yet; there will still be matches on Sunday. Towards the end of the season, I am following the top scorer race. Maybe someone will score ten on Sunday (currently Vanat leads with 17 goals, while his closest pursuer, Yehor Tverdokhlib from Kryvbas, has scored 13 goals, — ed. note).

— When was the moment in this championship that you realized you could again contend and even win the golden boot of the competition?

— At the beginning of the season, even before it started.
