Kostiantyn Hubenko

— What’s the mood ahead of the clash with the Swedish opponent?

— I think we’re ready for the confrontation. We’re also physically and tactically strong, technically prepared for this opponent.

— Is there a bit of nervousness before the start of the UEFA Youth League?

— There’s a bit of jitters. But I believe that’s how it should be if you love what you do. Generally, we’re preparing as usual.

— Many young guys have joined from the Academy without experience in similar tournaments. Is the interaction with them gradually improving?

— Yes, everything’s good. They were accepted right away as soon as they joined the team. Everyone is physically and mentally ready.

— Considering your versatility, where are you most comfortable playing?

— I think it’s on the right in defense.
