Dynamo U19 midfielder shared his expectations ahead of the first match of the UEFA Youth League third round against Hibernian.
— The team held its final training session before the game. What is the team’s mood and level of readiness?
— Everyone prepared very well, we are ready to put up a fight. We are focused on winning.
— The team trained on artificial turf but the match will be played on natural grass. Did this affect the preparation?
— I don’t think it will make a difference. Everyone is in the same conditions. The pitch is even, the ball is round.
— How different is the level of the UEFA Youth League from the domestic championship?
— The level is much higher. It’s essentially the Champions League, just for youth teams. The goals here are very serious.
— How did your adaptation in the youth team go?
— Older guys, born in 2006, support the younger ones, just like the coaches do.
— Your birthday is coming up. Have you already made a wish?
— Yes, I want us to win tomorrow.
