Young defender Kiyan shared his thoughts after his debut match for the main team in the UPL.
Dynamo Kiev manager Taras Mikhavko commented on his team’s victory in the UPL match against Metalist 1925 (4:2), which became the debut for the 18-year-old Ukrainian.
" I am extremely grateful for the trust in the coaching staff and for helping the guys on the team. And, thank God, everything turned out the way it was supposed to - victory.
Psychologically it was a little important, but I played a couple of games at the training camp and that’s how it sounded. There was nothing complicated. And those who wrote... Well, I don’t read the code, then my dads and friends just tell me what to write about me. And honestly, I don’t like reading about myself as much as what other journalists write about me.
Fathers wonder, play, worry. All the friends, dads, in principle, and the boys from the team were worried, or even advised, and everything was good. Everyone told me not to worry, just to play more confidently and calmly from the beginning, and then move on.. This is what I heard from those who were telling me the elders, and I concluded.
The rest of the reciter of fate - so, including the central director, I play. At the gatherings of the grav of the support, ale tse bulo times. Childhood in academies has a grave at the center. Already the remaining rik-povtor I play the central director.
Another missed ball? They told me not to get embarrassed, everything is fine. Because there is such an episode: I went ahead, the ball was stuck, the lawn was slimy under my foot, and I flew. And the boys cheered and said: “It’s okay, everything is fine, we played well.”.
I have been a fan of Dynamo in Ukrainian football since childhood and have always played for the main team. It so happened that they trusted me with the place. I'm even more radiant and very tired of people who encourage me. Tse mriya,” Mikhavko said in an interview with PROFOTBOL Digital.
After 15 games, Dynamo scored 31 points and is in fifth place in the UPL standings. There are six points to leader Krivbas and three points left.
