Kyrylo Pashko: “The example of Andrii Yarmolenko is very motivating”

FC Dynamo Kyiv halfback Kyrylo Pashko has told about the start of the Austrian training camp, his adaptation, expectations of friendlies and his role model in the first team:

- You’ve been working with the first team for over two weeks. What’re your impressions?

- It’s harder than with U19. Things are much faster, but on the other hand much more interesting. You can actually feel your progress.

- What’s the hardest part?

- At first it was really hard physically, but then you get accustomed and things get easier.

- There’s a lot of running early in the training camp. How’re you dealing with that?

- I guess nobody likes running, but it’s necessary. We need to run for 90 minutes in a game or for 120 sometimes.

- You’re the youngest in the team. How did older teammates greet you?

- I really like it here. Of course one can yell from time to time, but that’s okay in grownup teams.

- Which player do you look up to?

- Everyone’s helpful. If I need to pick one, that would be Andrii Yarmolenko as we play in the same position.

- Are you looking forward to meeting him on the field?

- Sure, it’s a great honor to play alongside a player, who used to perform in the English Premier League and Bundesliga. That will be a very important experience for me.

- Is there anything peculiar you noticed about his attitude and work?

- He’s a great professional. No matter the age he has a passion for football. That’s very motivating.

- Who do you communicate with the most?

­- Probably with Anton Tsarenko, we’re good palls.

- Dynamo are going to face decent teams at this training camp. Are you excited?

­- Sure. You should always test yourself against good opponents.
