The author of the winning goal in the first Conference League match against Qarabag shared his impressions immediately after the game at Arena Lublin.
– It’s good that we won. But there were a lot of mistakes, and we need to correct them. I think we need to play on the ball more. We’ll work on that. Overall, it’s good that we won today, and the team will prepare for the next game in a good mood. Today we earned a minimal handicap, and we’ll try to win in Baku as well and go through to the next round.
– In the episode with the goal did your goalscoring instinct help you?
– Yes, I saw that we won the ball back in the middle of the field and that there were the conditions for a quick counterattack. Justin Lonwijk fought for the ball, I saw that it was coming toward me, I felt that I could score, so I ran and poked it into the net. Thank God, the ball went in, so I ended my goalless run. I hope this game has “unlocked” me, and that there will be more to come, and I’ll start scoring in every game as well.
– Ihor Kostiuk came over to you after the final whistle… Did he support you or congratulate you?
– He congratulated me on the goal and thanked me for the game.
