Defender of "Kharkiv" Yevhen Pavlyuk after the victory over "Veres" (1:0) talked about the first match of the season and the new club identity.
– Was it a tough victory?
– Yes, we have a very good championship now, there are no easy matches, all opponents are preparing, watching our games. But we try to play our football in training. Today we played very well, created many good moments. We had some difficulties with finishing, but I am glad that Ramik came out today after such a serious injury and scored such a decisive goal.
– Why was it so difficult to break through Veres' defense?
– They were well prepared, stayed in the middle block and met us. But we broke through these lines very well. It's just that there was no finishing in the third zone. It's okay, it's only the first game, we will continue to work on this aspect.
– After the rebranding, do you joke in the dressing room that you look a bit like "Roma"?
– In general, there are no such conversations, we like everything very much.
