At first he was a centre back, but now he’s trying to be a worthy replacement for injured lateral Yevhen Makarenko.
- You joined Dynamo squad just a little while ago, so every win must be outstanding for you. Especially against FC Shakhtar Donetsk…
- Sure, especially considering that Dynamo couldn’t defeat Shakhtar in Kyiv for a long period of time. I experience incredible emotions. There was a full house at the stadium… This victory was necessary for us and supporters.
- It was noticeable that Dynamo believed in victory…
- Of course we did! We didn’t think of any other outcomes and did our best on the pitch.
- You can feature as centre back and lateral. What is the position you can’t play on?
- I guess I can play on any position, but I don’t know how well. I’ve already got used to left flank. The only problem is that I’m right-footed. As for the rest – everything is fine.
- Is the head coach satisfied with your play?
- It was very hard, but I think such matches help to gain experience and make headway. Of course I had problems opposing Douglas and Taison.
- What happened in the episode when it seemed that you fouled against Teixeira, but referee booked him?
- There was a contact, but he colored the truth a bit.
- Dynamo are second in standings now…
- Second place… We need the first one! Our aim is to win the title.
- Do you feel the trust of Serhiy Rebrov?
- I do! He believes in me and I’m really thankful to him for that. I’ll never spare myself on the pitch!
