About popularity
Sometimes I come to a supermarket and people start thanking me for the game. I’m not used to such attention. I hope everyone will calm down soon.
About debut goal for the national team against Belarus
I substituted Ruslan Rotan. Mykhailo Fomenko told me to act like in Dynamo, to help the forward. Yarmolenko, who assisted me, said after the game: “I saw someone running to the left of me and realized at once that it was you”. I remember only the moment when I unleashed the shot. The same can be said about the goal I scored against Macedonia.
About debut in euro cups
I thought it would be very difficult to play against SK Rapid Wien. I was booked early in the game and calmed down after that.
