- To your opinion would your father be proud of you?

- You cannot imagine how strongly I would like my father to be with me now. If my father was alive everything would be different. Notwithstanding, he would give me a number of useful advices from professional point of view. Those people, who enjoyed my father’s play in the stadium, say that our styles resemble each other very much. So we can say that I have inherited everything from my paternal genes.

- Why have you chosen "Shakhtar" and not "Werder" or "Tottenham"?
