- How come you made you debut for Dynamo main squad only this season?
- I started training with the main squad regularly only this season. Before that I often suffered from injuries, but now I’m fine and work without any restrictions. I hope nothing will bother me in future.
- Do you remember your first training camp with Dynamo main squad?
- Sure. At first I was very nervous as it was really unexpected. The season was over, I was at home in Vinnytsia when suddenly I was called and told to come to Kyiv for medical examination. Anyway older teammates supported me a lot which gave me confidence.
- You’re about to turn 19. Has your time come?
- Frankly speaking I’ve been feeling I can perform on top level for several seasons already. The thing is injuries used to bother me. I hope now I’ll demonstrate what I’m capable of.
- You were born in Israel, where your father played. Do you keep in touch with this country?
- Last season we opposed Maccabi in the UEFA Youth League, but before that I was in Israel in 2008 last time. Actually I don’t keep in touch with this country.
- Olexandr Aliyev used to say the secret of his great shot is small foot. Do you have any secrets?
- I don’t. To make your shots better you should work hard on them. I don’t think having small feet is important. For example, Zlatan Ibrahimovic proves that.
- What should you work on to become Dynamo first team regular and join Ukraine national team?
- One must work on all aspects of his play. Personally I should focus on head-playing and my right foot. I should also improve my fitness as you must stand your ground in football.
