The match started on Sunday, August 30, but on the 51st minute with the score 0:1, it had to be interrupted due to a prolonged air alarm. The match was finished on Monday, August 31.
– The match that stretched over two days... How did you, as a team, experience it in terms of concentration and overall awareness of where you are? And how did this time between yesterday and today's parts of the match go?
– It was difficult, of course, but both teams were in the same conditions, so we lost fair and square... We move on.
– Today you made your debut in the Ukrainian Premier League. How did you find out about it? The coach called you, remember that moment. And what did you feel? Was there any trembling in your knees?
– Of course, I am pleased to have made my debut. Thanks to the coaching staff. It wasn't the debut I was hoping for, of course, but that's okay, it's football, so we move on. I was a bit nervous, had some excitement, but we just move on.
– In these minutes, did you feel the difference between the First League and the Premier League?
– Well, of course. FC Kharkiv is a good team, the level is noticeable. But you have to get used to it, adapt, so we move on. I hope to do better in the next game.
– Skrypnyk now very seriously, calmly assessed this match. Isn't there any kind of total despair?
– No, it's the beginning of the championship, you shouldn't hang your head. Yes, it's a bitter home defeat, but you need to win the next game, tune in, and everything will be fine.
