- Emotions have decreased a bit. Do you already realize you’ve won the league?
- What do you mean “decreased”? I’d been waiting for this for 10 years, since I joined the First League side FC Sevastopol. I was moving step-by-step and finally reached my goal. This means so much. This is what I started my career for.
- Dynamo played with great dedication till the final whistle today. What did Lucescu tell players before the game?
- Usual stuff – analysis and game plan. When he’s preparing us, he makes us understand that we can win any match. Mister says: “I don’t want you to think of a draw or defeat. You must think of victory and achieve it. You must believe in this”.
- How hard was it to reach the title from the psychological point of view?
- Many people were saying we don’t have a chance, we can’t reach Shakhtar. But in August I told a friend of mine I was feeling this would be our season in August. I believed in this and so did other guys. Meanwhile coach made it clear we could do this.
- Whom do you dedicate your medal to?
- I dedicate it to my parents, wife and kid. To everyone from my home town I keep in touch with. If you have such people around, you’re a lucky man.
