- As far as it’s known FC Dynamo Moscow and FC Metalist Kharkiv wanted to see you among their players. Why did you choose Dynamo Kyiv?
- There is no use talking about those offers as they weren’t concrete. The offer from Dynamo Kyiv was serious and I wanted to play in this team.
- Ihor Surkis said that he likes your constancy as you didn’t change your mind during several months and moved to Kyiv…
- I got to know that Dynamo Kyiv was interested in me before Euro-2012. I was ready to move to Kyiv but at that moment something went wrong. I was very upset.
- Did you have motivation to play for FC Vorskla Poltava despite failure of negotiations with Dynamo Kyiv?
- I had to stay fit and show good results so I tried to do my best.
- What can you say about the first training camp with Oleh Blokhin?
- I was hard and it will be even harder. The aim of the first training camp is to improve physical conditions. Of course I did my best to be in good form till the second part of the season.
- You are to get used to new teammates…Have you already found out who is the best partner in defense for you?
- Not yet, it’s too early to make such conclusions. I played with Khacheridi and Mikhalik in the national team so I know them a little bit better than others.
- Were training camps in FC Vorskla Poltava harder than in Dynamo Kyiv?
- It’s harder in Dynamo as it is a new team for me.
