Shakhtar midfielder Prosper Obah shared his impressions of the win over Zorya in an interview with UPL.TV
– Congratulations on the win and your first goal! Share your impressions after the match against Zorya.
– I feel happy! Scoring your first goal for a new team is always pleasant and very important in the context of the match and the overall fight for the title we are aiming for. Despite appearing calm on the outside, I’m actually very happy inside.
– We are used to seeing you score a lot and you were the top scorer during your time at LNZ. Now, however, you had quite a long goal drought, not scoring since November. Given that, how important is this goal for you?
– Of course, the importance of the goal is immense. The most important thing is that it helped the team take three points. At the same time, its significance is hard to overestimate for me personally and for my confidence.
– The goal came in the 2nd minute of the match. Was such an extremely active start from Shakhtar part of the head coach’s instructions?
– Yes, before every match he emphasises that we must give everything and perform at maximum intensity. Every time we train or prepare during analysis sessions, he highlights how important it is to take control in the opening minutes.
– The lead over second spot has increased to six points. Did you feel any relief after the final whistle?
– Definitely, it brings a slight sense of ease that allows you to breathe out a little. However, it is by no means relaxation because every game is important and we still have several rounds ahead. Until it is confirmed officially, we will give our all and fight in every match.
