The White-Blues skipper keeps leading younger teammates by example.
- Olexandr is there anything special about current training camp?
- It doesn’t differ from other training camps rapidly. Everyone understands how important it is to comply with coaching staff recommendations.
- Do you fulfill the same amount of work as younger goalkeepers?
- To stay fit one must work with great dedication. To struggle for regular starting spot I mustn’t fall short of speed or stamina.
- Having great experience you just need to work on physical conditions?
- One must work on physical conditions throughout the whole season. Training camp is a kind of groundwork of readiness.
- Do you keep learning new skills?
- I follow many keepers. If I like something about their play I try to use it in my work.
- Is competing really strong in Dynamo at the moment?
- Competing always exists, but at the training camp everyone is on equal footing. That’s a natural process. Time will come when I’ll have to finish my career, but currently I work as other keepers.
- What was Dynamo players’ attitude to Olexandr Rybka’s return?
- Everything is fine, Olexandr has great motivation.
- Have newcomers already adapted to Dynamo?
- I think they have and they already understand all requirements.
- What qualities will be most important in first fixtures of second part of the season?
- Dedication and motivation – first of all, besides tactics is very important.
- Are you expecting some surprises on the UPL homestretch?
- I just know that I must demonstrate my best play when I take the field. One must strain every sinew to achieve necessary result. A lot depends upon players physical and psychological conditions.
- Many supporters are curious whether forthcoming spring will be the last one in your Dynamo career?
- That’s possible. Anyway I’ll make a decision when the season ends.
