Artem SHABANOV: “I really want to approve myself in Dynamo”

- I’m very happy to join Dynamo. That’s been my dream since childhood. When a kid I was the White-Blues academy trainee. I really want to approve myself here.

- Have you already talked to Olexandr Khatskevych?

- We’ve had only a small chat so far. He called me and asked whether I want to perform for Dynamo. I said that I really do, but we haven’t discussed his demands so far. I suppose they count on me as on centre back.

- Are you already acquainted with any Dynamo players?

- Frankly speaking, I’m not. I only know Zurab Ochigava, who features for FC Olimpik Donetsk on loan, but I didn’t discuss my transfer with him.

- You’re a centre back, but can you perform in other positions if necessary?

- In FC Volyn Lutsk I played as left back and supporting midfielder sometimes. I’ll perform in the position coach picks for me. Anyway, centre back is my favorite position.

- You got 6 bookings in the first part of the season. Are you a tough guy?

- That’s a lot (smiling). Well, it turns out I am. Although sometimes they say I’m not tough enough.

- Have you already picked a squad number?

- I’d like to get #13, but I don’t know if it’s available. I’m not superstitious, so I like this number.
