- Illia, congratulations on the golden hat trick in your first season! What do you feel right now?
- Emotions run high, of course. The final was tough. It feels great to win such games. We wanted to add the Cup to the league title. Congratulations to the team and our supporters. We’ll keep this up!
- Did the injury of Vitaliy Mykolenko influence your defensive play?
- Sure, it was really unfortunate accident, but Karavayev substituted him decently. Every player, who takes the field, aims to do his best.
- How did Mircea Lucescu motivate the team before the game?
- He said we had to win. He often says: “Victory doesn’t mean anything if it isn’t followed by further victories”.
- Dynamo have won the trophy on a really special day for the club… What does this mean to you?
- This day is really special, it’s a birthday of our club. Thanks God we’ve won today. This means a lot to everyone, who cares about Dynamo, especially to me and other academy trainees. It’s a blessing for a young player to feature for the favourite club on such level.
