Anyway, he’s been FC Dynamo Kyiv first team regular for several years already. Partly that’s what our conversation is about.
- Are you upset you’re currently lacking behind FC Shakhtar Donetsk?
- Our task is to win every game. In spring we’ll have two more games against Shakhtar. That’s why we should focus on our own play instead of the league table.
- Dynamo had five-match winless streak in domestic league. What happened?
- Of course we heard a lot of negative stuff from journalists and fans. Still I hope our recent results in the UPL and Europa League deserve being praised.
- Andriy Yarmolenko was Dynamo leader for years. Has your play changed a lot since he moved to Dortmund?
- It hasn’t, but we miss Andriy a lot. Still I’m sure new leader will appear in Dynamo soon.
- Ihor Surkis has mentioned you need ankle surgery…
- I’ve been having this problem for a while. After the game against BSC Young Boys on artificial turf the ankle was inflamed and then I hurt it as we faced FC Vorskla Poltava. Still I’ve been to Germany, where they told me the surgery can be postponed.
- You’ve scored quite a lot for Dynamo. Some goals were decisive. Which one is the most special to you?
- I guess it’s the goal against Young Boys in Switzerland. Victory was very important to us, especially from psychological point of view.
- Have your duties on the field changed under the charge of Olexandr Khatskevych?
- They’ve changed a lot. Now we two supporting midfielders and I have more space.
- Olexandr Khatskevych has stated that if he had five players like Buialskyi, he wouldn’t have a need to search for enforcement on transfer market. Do such words motivate you?
- When hear such words from coach you start working even harder not to let him down. Still I also take criticism positively, not only praises.
- Journalists don’t know a lot about your personal life. Is it a kind of restricted area for media?
- Personal life is something intimate to me. That’s why I don’t have accounts in social networks.
