Defender Valerii Bondar shared his impression of the debut appearance in the starting line-up and his first goal for Shakhtar
- Valerii, you made your first start for the native club and immediately scored a goal! What do you feel now?
- I am glad to help the team win - this is more important than my goal today. Of course, it's nice to score a goal. I want to dedicate the goal to my parents: they led me to this, and I’m very grateful to them!
- What’s your impression of the UPL match? The victory looked pretty easy ...
- Maybe everything looked easy to the onlookers, but in the first half, it wasn’t easy to rip open the opponents’ defence, although there were chances. It’s good that we scored the opener and slightly exposed Vorskla’s defensive third. Then we converted our chances.
- Do you expect to get more playing time now?
- This is a question for the coaches. But, of course, I want to play.
