- How did you get to this tournament? After all, you spent the last season in Minsk MTZ-RIPO.
- So what? I belong to Kaunas. And in Minsk he played on loan.
- And now her term has expired?
- Not. It was me in Kaunas that our common boss Mr. Romanov returned. So that I help the team perform well in the Commonwealth Cup. The club aims to win the tournament. To do this, and calls eminent players.
- Are you hinting at yourself?
- Well, in any case, I strengthened the team. Although he arrived recently - January 14th. And immediately into battle.
- So, are you in “Kaunas” like a famous guest performer?
- Yes, you can say that. Need help - help.
- It seems that you are the authority for partners ...
- Well, I tell young players how to play. Sometimes even the elders suggest. There is such an experienced player in Kaunas - Givi Kvaratskhelia. So I give him advice. And he to me too. Sometimes.
- Will you stay in Lithuania after the tournament?
- Most likely no. I still plan to become a Scottish Hearts player in the summer. In the fall, an unpleasant story happened to me. Already, consider, they took on a contract, when it suddenly turned out that there were not enough games for the national team to get a British work visa.
- Enough by the summer?
- Must. I don’t remember exactly, but two or three official matches remain. Therefore, after the Commonwealth Cup, I’ll return to Minsk to be in the spotlight of the national team coaches in the Belarusian championship.
“And if they won’t call you?” I heard that last year you were specially given to play for the national team, so that later you could get to the “Hearts”.
- Of course, I'm not a player in the main team. But he came out for replacements deservedly. And the team, I think, is needed. And those who spread such rumors, let them shut their mouths! They envy the brother, and at the same time me.
- By the way, what does Alexander advise you in terms of a career?
“Advises moving to Hearts.” We rarely see each other, but call back constantly. He also advises me to change my character.
- What so?
“So, he is bad with me.” And this sometimes manifests itself in communication. Do you know why I did not gain a foothold in Hamburg two years ago? That's because of this very character ... But I do not want to talk about it here. You are not a psychoanalyst ...
- And Alexander said in one of the interviews that with time you will be able to play stronger than him ...
- Well, if only I will obey his advice. But better close this topic, okay?
