"I've been playing football since I was five years old, my father was also a player so he got me interested, I watched him play and followed his his tournaments. However playing for a national football team wearing one's nation colors is the best feeling ever, you just have to experience that to know."

His thoughts on first and second matches: "It was a good duel, both of us had plenty of opportunities. I'd say Ukrainians set the pace in the first, and us in the second half. Too bad we couldn't keep the advantage, but 1:1 is also a fair result for both teams.

I think we'll have a hard time with Montenegro, mostly because they beat Poland with 2:1 yesterday, that's additional pressure for us. But I think we can pull it off, and we'll do our best."

Where do you see yourself in the future: "I see myself playing in a big English or German club, but we'll see what happens."
