Kyiv Dynamo forward Andriy Yarmolenko commented on the match result against Kryvbas in the Ukrainian championship in the broadcaster’s broadcast.
Andriy Yarmolenko— A very confident victory. First of all, congratulations on it. What has changed compared to the previous matches? Why did Dynamo break through so confidently today?
— Honestly, nothing much has changed. We are just tired of showing such results ourselves. We understand where we are playing, for which club, and today we went out on the field like it was a final. We understood that only a confident victory would satisfy us.
— Andriy, after this result, is it perhaps a bit easier?
— Of course, it’s a bit easier because we haven’t won for a long time. But we understand how important the upcoming matches are. Therefore, we need to prepare and improve the situation.
— Regarding today’s match — are you comfortable playing in the center forward position?
— Yes, over the years, I am comfortable playing in any attacking position — left, right, under the forward, or as the forward itself. There are no problems.
— Do you know which goal number you scored today?
— No, honestly, I don’t know.
— But we know — that’s your 115th goal!
— Thank you very much! (Smiles.)
— How does it feel — scoring at 36? It’s your first goal at this age?
— (Laughs.) It’s the same as at 19. Nothing serious. I just love football. If the feelings are the same, it means the passion is still there.
— Will the designer now place you next to Yevhen Seleznyov?
— (Smiles.) No, Yevhen is a legend, let him rest in peace. It’s all good; I think he doesn’t worry.
— How important was today’s victory in the context of the upcoming two matches against Shakhtar? What are your expectations?
— Of course, the victory is very important. We haven’t won for a while. There has been a lot of criticism. For some guys, this is the first such experience, and it’s not easy for them. We communicate within the team, support each other, try to raise morale. Everyone understands how important the upcoming matches are — this is the Ukrainian derby. I hope we can make our fans happy.
