- I was really looking forward to this moment. I didn’t take the field in the game against Zoria. It was hard to watch guys playing from the sidelines. Anyway I was working hard to have a chance to play against Olimpik. Now I’ve made my debut for Dynamo and I’m happy!
Of course I must still learn a lot as Dynamo have different tactics comparing with my previous teams. I’m really glad we’ve won. Now we’re moving forward.
- What can you say about the game against Olimpik?
- It wasn’t easy. We aimed for goal and for victory. After the first half no one looked upset. We were ready to take the field and score. We did it only once in a stoppage time, but this goal is very important as we’ve gained three points. It’s difficult to oppose teams that are totally focused on defense. This success is result of each player’s efforts and club staff work.
- What are your first impressions of Ukraine? How do you feel in the team?
- I feel great and I like everything. Transfer to Dynamo is a new challenge for me after Poland. It’s a bit difficult to communicate as not all my teammates speak English. Ukrainian and Russian are difficult (laughing). Anyway I’ll keep studying as it’s important to communicate with teammates. It’s nice to be in Kyiv. I’m enjoying this time. Still first of all I want to win trophies and then walk around the city and look for new friends.
- What are your impressions of the first game at the NSC Olimpiyskyi?
- It’s a great stadium! This is the first time I saw the NSC Olimpiyskyi. I was looking forward to special moment, when I make my debut for Dynamo here. I’d like to thank coaches for letting me play. It would have been better to see more fans at the stadium, but we know times are difficult. We must demonstrate good football and win. If we do, maybe there will be more supporters.
