FC Dynamo Kyiv forward Matvii Ponomarenko has rejoined the team after the U19 Euro-2024 where he performed for Ukraine.
- I’m in a good mood now although was upset after the game against France. Anyway, we must switch to club affairs and move on.
- Did you watch Dynamo match against Partizan?
- Sure, I watched it before dinner and supported the team. I’m glad we won.
- Dynamo players and coaches watched Ukraine U19 games at the Euro. Did you feel their support?
- Sure, they texted and congratulated us, so we knew about their support.
- Is it upsetting you couldn’t play in the semifinal?
- It is, but that’s my fault. This is life.
- Do you think Ukraine U19 Euro campaign was a success?
- Certainly. We reached our goal and qualified for the World Cup. Of course we wanted to win the Euro or reach the final at least, but failed to.
- You and Taras Mykhavko are already training with Dynamo. How’re you feeling physically?
- I’m ready for training and games. The following morning after the match against France we came here and joined the team.
