- Oleksandr, in one of the recent interviews, you mentioned that your biggest support is your mother, who always finds the right words before matches. What is the most important piece of advice from her that you remember the most?

- The most valuable advice from my mother is to never stop, even if something doesn't work out or you don't like it. She always reminded me: if you have chosen your path, follow it to the end and do everything to achieve your goal.

- You are often described as a very reserved person. And what are you really like: are you as calm inside or are your emotions more violent than you think during the game?

- I really know how to control emotions when it is necessary. But during the game, they are much stronger, because you want to help the team, to be useful. The main thing is not to let emotions get in the way, because on the field it can sometimes work against you.

- Fans often call you a young, but very ambitious and promising player. How important are such words of support and faith from the stands for you?

- This is a great motivation for me. It's nice to feel supported, and it really helps to move forward, to work even harder.

- Evaluate your progress over the past year. What was the turning point in your understanding of football or your attitude to work?

- The year turned out to be quite good. The turning point was the debut in professional football, then I realized that I had to work even harder and improve my skills in order to get even more playing time at an adult level.

- How do you usually spend your free time outside of football? Do you have a hobby that not everyone knows about?

- I usually study, recover, and in the evening I like to go for a walk. I have several hobbies: building LEGO, playing table tennis and billiards, sometimes playing computer games, watching movies.

- How strictly do you follow the sports regime outside of training? Are there any personal rules you never break?

- I follow the regime, like any professional, but sometimes I allow myself something sweet. I confess, I love pancakes with cherries. There is a rule that I never break: do not miss training in the gym.

- What is your usual daily diet? Do you have favorite foods that help keep you energized and in shape?

- My diet is quite stable: omelette or eggs in the morning, meat with noodles or vegetables at lunch, dinner lighter - chicken, salad, rice. I monitor the water balance. And her favorite dish is dumplings with potatoes.
