— We lost, but there is something to congratulate you on — the debut goal of “Epicenter” in the UPL. Describe your feelings about this.

— Yes, thank you. When I scored, it felt very good. The first goal for "Epicenter," my first goal in the Premier League — I was happy, but unfortunately, the team result is negative, so I can’t be happy right now.

— Overall, we conceded, you could say, two similar goals — two crosses from the flank, although one was from a penalty area, but we didn’t do enough with one touch in the penalty area. What do you think the reason is?

— I think some did not do enough, and some lacked experience at certain moments. We need to analyze this and draw conclusions so that such moments either end with us clearing the ball or they do not end in a conceded goal.

— At the end of the match, Anhel Torres came on as a substitute for Dynamo. You had quite a specific battle on the flank against each other. Can you tell us about this footballer, how did you manage to play against him today, as you were really going at it?

— I consider him a very good, qualified footballer; he has his own skills. And this, I believe, is his first match, so I think he needs to adapt. But it wasn’t easy to play against him. I wish him and Dynamo good luck in the upcoming matches.
