Yevhen Pavlyuk: "There are no jokes about Roma in the locker room"
FC Kharkiv defender Yevhen Pavlyuk after the victory over Veres (1:0) talked about the first match of the season and the club's new identity.
– Was it a tough victory?
– Yes, we have a very competitive 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 Veres' defense?
– They were well prepared, stayed in a mid-block and met us. But we broke these lines very well. It was just the finishing that was missing in the final third. 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"?
– There are no such conversations at all, we all really like everything.
