- Esteghlal have enough experienced players. It was a pleasure to play for 90 minutes. In general we did our best on the pitch.
- Did Oleh Blokhin tell you anything after the game?
- Yes, he pointed out our mistakes. He also had personal talks with players.
- How can you estimate Dynamo pre-season preparation?
- We had a good training camp, besides there were games against Spartak Moscow and Zenit St. Petersburg. I think we are in good physical shape. I’m looking forward for the game against Volyn Lutsk.
- Was it unusual to get ready for new season in Kyiv?
- I think it’s good for those players whose families live in Kyiv. Anyway our preparation in Kyiv didn’t differ from the one we had abroad. I enjoyed getting in shape wit a help of friendlies.
- What are your personal aims for the next season?
- I want to become the first team regular.
