He has also commented upon Ukraine national team fixtures against Belarus and Macedonia for FC Dynamo Kyiv official web site:
- We aren’t getting ready for the game purposefully yet. Internationals are just rejoining the club. We have almost a week to prepare for the match. We’ve played a sparring against reserve team. After that coaching staff let us have a day off.
- A lot of people expected Mykhailo Fomenko to call you up to Ukraine national team…
- Of course I want to play for the national team. Still my priority is Dynamo today. If everything is fine in the club I guess I’ll be spotted by Ukraine coaching staff.
- Fomenko has stated that he will count on you in future…
- Frankly speaking I expected Mykhailo Fomenko to call me up, but that hasn’t happened this time. It’s not a tragedy.
- What are your impressions of Ukraine matches against Belarus and Macedonia?
- First of all it’s important that six points have been earned. Maybe Ukraine play wasn’t perfect, but that’s okay.
- What can you say about the start of Euro-2016 qualification for Ukraine?
- The defeat against Slovakia was unexpected and very unpleasant. Still there are a lot of matches to be played and I hope Ukraine will get out of the group.
- Dynamo will play the next game against FC Hoverla Uzhhorod. Many Kyivans feature for this team on loan. Will it make the match more interesting?
- We focus on victory in every game. We must defeat Uzhhorod side.
- Have you talked to any Hoverla Kyivans about the forthcoming game?
- Maxym Koval was in Kyiv recently. After victory against FC Shakhtar Donetsk our players gathered to celebrate and he was with us. He said that nature is beautiful in Uzhhorod, but we didn’t talk about the forthcoming match.
