Yellow-blue striker Maxim Skavysh was named the best player of the 27th round of Parimatch - for the goal double in a home match with Vitebsk (3:1).

After receiving the prize, the 30-year-old scorer told the pressball.by what he expected from the finish of the season.

- Gifts are always good. But with age he began to treat them more calmly. However, it is pleasant to receive them. Such awards decorate the championship. It goes only on the plus side. By the way, I like to wear watches. If, of course, I do not forget them at home :) But still, I like to give rather than receive.

- Probably, before the match at Borisov Arena it would be more pleasant to get a prize? Or is it a distraction?
- No. If the game had been in December, it might have been not very comfortable to stand for an extra minute :) And so - absolutely does not interfere with or distract.

- Do you keep track of personal statistics?
- I do, but I treat it calmly. I understand, I try, I give myself in every match. Everything is interconnected - I need to play well, score so that the team scores points. Of course, it's nice when I can do it. And it's even better when the team is doing well.

- Do you feel the prospect to become not only the best scorer of the championship, but also the best player?
- To be honest, I haven't thought about it yet. Maybe, a tour before the finish line will give you some thoughts. But now all attention is concentrated on the preparation for the game with Shakhtar. This is one of the key games of the season.
