Midfielder of "Kharkiv" Ramik Hadzhiev commented on the victory over "Bukovyna" on UPL TV, evaluated his own game and the team's progress, and also talked about his emotions returning to the Ukrainian youth national team after a year-long break.
— We had a tough week, a very nice trip, and a difficult road. Thank God, we won. We coped with everything and earned important three points. Ahead, some have a national team, some have rest, it's good that we approach this in a good mood.
— That's very good. Better a national team than rest?
— Well, of course, a national team is better. It is a great honor to represent your country at the international level. I am also grateful for the trust, for being called up. I haven't been called up for a year due to injuries or some circumstances. I will be charged up, I will go and show myself, represent the country and my club.
— How do you assess your personal progress this season?
— I believe that we are looking good right now. I like my game, I liked it today too. I created chances for the team, provided an assist. I do everything for us to win, we play as a team, and we need to continue playing like this and only get better.
— Again, we saw you giving an assist with your right foot. We asked Mladen Bartulovich about it too, because he was also a prominent left-footed winger in the Ukrainian championship. Do you discuss this topic with him, and maybe you are paying more attention to this right foot now?
— I will talk to him about it, but the moment required it. I did it and that's it. I am glad I provided an assist. In the first half, Paroko and I had a little misunderstanding, we even argued a bit. And in the second half, I gave him an assist, and he scored. It's great that it worked out this way. We hugged and congratulated each other.
— Is this the first time you also gave with your right foot?
— You know, it happens in the heat of the moment. We couldn't score three or four, I believe, one hundred percent chances we had in the first half. I could have provided more assists today as well.
— It's nice that you enjoy your team's game. It's also very pleasant to watch from this side. Beautiful play, many shots. Did this come after the match with "Shakhtar"?
— I think it's just our hard work. We started all this from the training camp, but at the beginning of the championship, it's always tough. We needed to develop our game, gain momentum. Now we understand each other better. We already have a stable lineup for the game, and we understand each other better, play. We started to play more as a whole, and we have no individualities, so we show the best game.
