He’s told club media how he rendered such important decision and shared his impressions of adaptation process.
- How did your transfer to Dynamo start?
- When this variant appeared I talked to Serhiy Rebrov and decided I want to be here.
- What was more important: Dynamo successful play over recent years or coach’s interest in you?
- Coach’s interest was more important. It’s vital for every player to see that coach counts on him. Besides Dynamo feature in the Champions League and demonstrate good football.
- The last direct transfer from Shakhtar to Dynamo was Serhiy Rebrov. Eventually he became leader of the team and head coach. Fans have different attitude to your transfer. What do you think of this situation?
- I realized the situation would be like this. I talked to fans after the sparring at the training complex and I hope we’ve found common ground. I’m always ready to meet them and answer all questions. I’ll prove my loyalty to Dynamo by deed.
- Is that additional motivation?
- Of course I want to demonstrate worthy football, score, win trophies and help FC Dynamo Kyiv.
- Generally Dynamo are young team at the moment while you’re experienced player…
- I think there’s good combination of youth and experience in the team. I don’t think I’ll have problems.
- Dynamo have different game system. How do you adapt to these changes?
- Dynamo style is different, but fortunately we have time to understand what coach wants us to do. It’s vital to have full-fledged training camp.
- You’ve already scored two goals in friendlies. Have you reached mutual understanding with your teammates?
- Serhiy Rebrov says strikers must always look for a chance to shoot. I already know what kind of pass my teammates can perform or where they can put a cross.
- What are your expectations of the forthcoming match against FC Shakhtar Donetsk?
- We must be 100% ready and demonstrate our football. Of course we’ll aim only for victory.
