Artem Shabanov: “We had to win and demonstrate better performance”

After the final whistle he shared his impressions of the game:

- It was our first match after the quarantine, so no wonder it was tough. We had emotions and dedication, but many things weren’t done properly. I think soon we’ll recondition and everything will be fine. Rukh are pretty good team, this game was useful, but we had to win and demonstrate better performance.

- Have you managed to recondition within ten days of training process?

- We mostly aimed to recall game connections, schemes etc. I guess we haven’t totally got accustomed yet, but I’m sure things will get easier.

- You’re one of few performers, who’ve played 90 minutes against Rukh. Do you feel exhausted?

- That wasn’t easy. Of course I’m tired, but I guess after few friendlies we’ll get better.

- After Olexandr Syrota took the field, you featured as supporting midfielder. Is this position new to you?

- It’s not, I used to play as a supporting midfielder before. I’m not saying I like that, but coach told me to take this position and I did.

- Do you have enough time to get ready for the season restart properly?

- I guess this time is enough. They say we’ll play against Shakhtar on June 6. I think we’ll be ready.
