- Josip, you worked individually today. How do you feel?
- Yesterday we played a friendly and I fell on my back, but this isn’t some serious injury. I hope I’ll rejoin the team tomorrow.
- The head coach has mentioned that Dynamo are trying to counterchange the play. Do you see any progress in this regard?
- I don’t remember us scoring so many goals at previous training camps. We’ve won seven friendlies out of nine. It’s important to us that we score a lot as we used to have certain problems with that. Of course it’s not our priority to win friendlies, but it’s important for atmosphere in the team to succeed.
- Yesterday both wings participated in attacks that resulted in goals. Does this mean you have proper mutual understanding?
- It also proves that players don’t have problems in terms of fitness. Laterals join attacks and finish them. We’ve fulfilled a significant amount of work which will benefit us later.
- You were Dynamo best striker at the first training camp. Guys even called You Neymar.
- That’s true (laughing). Of course it always feels great to score, but the thing is that I performed in more attacking position than usually in four games. I’m glad I scored and assisted my teammates.
- So far you win your friendlies at the second training camp. Does it mean you have proper physical conditions?
- That’s right, but we’ve had serious exercise load, so it’s not all that easy so far. But we must approach first official games in better conditions.
- You’ve missed quite a lot due to injury. Do you feel you’ve regained your former conditions?
- I guess I have, but this has taken a while. I had a problem with my knee. I don’t want even to think about that anymore. Now I feel fine and look only forward.
- What goals do you set this year?
- The major goal is to qualify for the Champions League. Besides, we must win the Ukrainian Cup. We need to move towards our goals and improve our play.
- Kostiantyn Vivcharenko has mentioned that you helped him a lot…
- Sure, I’m always glad to help a youngster. If a young player is eager to listen to me, I’ll give him an advice.
