Venezuelan striker of Kryvyi Rih Kryvbas Carlos Paraco - about the away win over Lviv Rukh - 2:1 in the 9th round of the UPL on UPL TV.

- Congratulations on the victory. You scored your fourth goal of the season today. How is your mood in general and what are your impressions of the match?

- The mood is great. It's always nice to win, to take three points. We have a strong, united team - we are one. We continue to work.

- It seemed that after an hour of play the team stopped a bit. Maybe we believed in victory too early?

- I can't say that we relaxed. It's just that after the second goal we moved back a little, and the opponent started to press harder. But, thank God, we were able to keep the advantage and bring the match to victory.

- You have an interesting intra-team scorer race now: Mendoza has 5 goals, Tverdokhlib has 4, and you now also have 4. Do you discuss this among yourselves?

- No, we are not competing with each other. On the contrary, we are very happy with each other's goals. The main thing is that thanks to these goals the team wins. Everyone is focused on the result, not on personal statistics.

- And finally: after today's victory you have topped the standings. What does this mean for you and the team?

- Of course, it is nice. We work hard, and this position is natural. But there are still many matches ahead, so we need to stay focused. Our task is to take three points in every game and keep the bar.
