Shakhtar U19 forward Muhamadou Kanteh shared his impressions after scoring a double hat-trick in the match against Karpaty U19
– Muhamadou, Shakhtar secured a convincing victory over Karpaty in the rescheduled U19 National League round 2 match. Tell us, how was this match for you and what emotions did the win bring?
– The clash with Karpaty U19 turned out to be very successful. We controlled the game and strictly followed the coach’s instructions from the very first minutes. Wins with such a score always boost confidence, create a positive atmosphere within the team and motivate us to work hard for success in the upcoming league matches.
– You became the first player in Shakhtar U19 to score a double hat-trick. What does this achievement mean to you and who do you dedicate your goals?
– Honestly, it’s a very special feeling to score six goals in a single match. I’m proud to be the first player in Shakhtar U19 to achieve this. For me, it is primarily a reflection of the team’s hard work because such a success would have been impossible without the passes and support from the lads. I dedicate these goals to my family and teammates, who always support me and motivate me to become better.
– Your scoring record is impressive: with 8 goals in 3 matches, you are currently the top scorer not only of the team but of the entire league. How does this affect your confidence on the pitch?
– Undoubtedly, my scoring form gives me a lot of confidence, but at the same time, I need to stay focused on contributing as much as possible to the team to achieve the desired results. Personal statistics are certainly gratifying, however the most important thing is that my goals genuinely help the team.
– You joined Shakhtar U19 at the end of the summer training camp. How easily did you adapt to the squad and the head coach’s requirements?
– The most important thing was that, when I joined the team during the summer camp, I immediately felt needed. The adaptation process was smooth because the coach clearly explained his expectations and my teammates helped me both on and off the pitch. Thanks to their support, I quickly felt part of the squad and was able to fully focus on football.
– What goals have you set for yourself and what do you aim to achieve this season?
– My main goal is to progress every day and contribute to the team as much as possible through goals and hard work. I want to progress as a footballer, contribute to the team’s success in the league and be ready for any opportunities the club gives me this season.
