- The match was difficult because it was the first game of the season, and Galatasaray, one of the strongest clubs in Turkey, had to face it. I am glad that I managed to help the team by scoring a goal from the game, and then in a series of post-match penalties.

— You have been recognized as the best player in this match. Were you surprised?

- I didn't think about it. But such recognition is pleasant. However, this is the success of our entire team. Although we could not bring the case to post-match penalties. Akhisar had moments to score the second goal and decide the fate of the match in regular time.

— The Turkish Championship will start soon. Are you ready physically for the new season?

- The start of the championship will show. Despite the fact that we also start in the Europa League, our main focus will be on the national championship. He is our priority.

— On the national team of Ukraine tcoming soon to the start of the League of Nations ...

- The most important thing is that we are all in decent shape by then. If we show a high level of play, it will be a great help for Andriy Shevchenko before the start of the League of Nations. We will try to reach the peak of form by autumn.
