Peter Itodo: "I try to improve in every game"

Forward of "Metalist 1925" Peter Itodo, who scored one of the goals against "Lokomotiv", shared his impressions of the game:

- Do you know who is the top scorer of the Cup right now?

- I try to score not only in the Cup but also in the championship. My goal is the championship, but it's also good to score in the Cup. You need to use your chances: play in the UPL, play in the Cup, and score as much as possible. I give my all in both the championship and the Cup. Every day, in every game, I try to improve.

- Speaking of the goal you scored today, at what moment did you decide to shoot?

- I outpaced the defender, went for the ball while he was running back. I saw that the goalkeeper was also off his line, so I decided to just shoot. To make sure he didn't see this shot, I tried to hide it.

- If we recall the winter training camp, it was a tough period for you. How did you get through it?

- I was with the U-19 team, but the first team coaches were in constant contact. We communicated to ensure I met the physical training and exercise requirements. They were very concerned. The team was in Spain, and I was here. I was constantly talking to the team, to the players, to understand how we move forward.

- When you returned to the team, was there any discomfort or awkwardness that you didn't go through the camp with everyone else?

- In football, you need to work every day. We try to get better every day. It's important for us to work and move forward. We work and train every day, moving forward. As soon as we step onto the field, we try to give our all.

- And speaking of your personal goals. What goal do you set for yourself in the championship? Maybe to score a specific number of goals. What is that goal for you?

-I'm a forward who just wants to score goals. If you score goals, your team will win. My goal as a forward is just to score goals. The more you score, the higher your team will be in the standings.
