Dynamo centre-forward shared his emotions after the match against Spartak and told about the fierce character of this matchup.
— You scored the debut goal for the first team in the cup encounter against Spartak. Now you already scored in the Premier League againt the Red-Whites. Do you always have a special motivation on this team?
— Of course, since the Academy, Spartak are our fierce rival. I am always happy to score against them. It's a pity that we didn't win today.
— Did you run to the fans' stand to celebrate the goal?
— Yes, of course. Our fans supported us very well today. They also accompanied our departure from the training ground to the stadium in a very interesting and creative way. Thank them very much for it.
— Over the past year, you took part in several derbies, including two away ones. Compare your feelings then and now.
— Then I also came on in the second half, played 20 minutes, and we also drew. Now I managed to score, but this was not enough for a victory. I'm very upset.
— Why didn't the team manage to hold the win?
— We played very well for 75 minutes. After the second goal scored, we probably lost concentration and conceded two almost identical goals.
— The mass brawl was one of the highlights of the derby. Did you participate in it?
— No, because the referees could watch the VAR and show a red card for it. I was there and pushed our players away so that they would not participate in this brawl.
— Did it all start because of an outburst?
— Of course, it's still a derby. The players didn't hold back their emotions, and it all started because of it.
