- My quarantine is okay. I follow the individual training program we’ve all got. I stick to all self-isolation rules and leave my place only for jogging and groceries sometimes. I watch movies, series, play Counter-Strike, read a psychology book by Jen Sincero.
I also spend time with my parents, who’ve come to visit me. My girlfriend and I walk our dog – Beagle called Bandit. Of course we wear masks and wash hands with soap.
- Have you discussed the current situation with your teammates?
- I talk to Denys Popov almost every day. Of course we discuss what’s going on in our country and in the whole world. We’ve come to the conclusion that nothing probably will change till April 24 as the quarantine will be on till this day. I think it’s wrong to resume the league as it’s dangerous.
- When did you get your dog Bandit?
- About two months ago. I really wanted a dog, but it’s a serious decision considering that Beagle is a hound dog and needs special care. Last year I met my girlfriend and we decided to get a pet together. So far everything is fine, Bandit already knows some tricks. We want it to work with dog trainer, but considering that quarantine is on it’s hardly possible so far. Generally Bandit is very kind and wants to play with everyone.
- Which of your recent trips is especially memorable?
- Actually I haven’t been to many places except for Georgia. Well, now that I have a girlfriend we need to go to the seaside (smiling). We were in Georgia together in winter. I showed her everything and got her acquainted with my family. Then we went to Dubai. This was the first country where I spent my vacation. It was quite a beneficial rest for me.
My favourite Georgian food? It’s khinkali, but I’m only half Georgian, so I like Ukrainian cuisine too. When I missed borshch my mom cooked it for me. My girlfriend liked khinkali. I guess every woman has her own recipe of this dish. But one should be careful with it not do get overweight. I try to be careful with my diet. My dad played football too, so when I take another slice of bread he looks at me judgmentally and I know I shouldn’t do it (smiling). Otherwise can make me do jogging for like 40 minutes.
