In an interview with the press service of the Carpathian ex-coach Alexander Sevidov Lviv, now head of Mariupol, he spoke about the readiness of his current team for the match, and the impression of the future rival.

"After the defeat from Shakhtar, the mood in the team is not particularly joyful," Sevidov said.. - But it's not worth to sprinkle the ashes on your head, all the same, Shakhtar is the strongest team we have already played with. The main thing is to draw the proper conclusions from this defeat. I think that by the Sunday meeting with the Carpathians we will be ready in full combat readiness ".

"I can not say that this match will be of principle for me. But a little special - yes. All the same, I worked in the Carpathians and I remember well both the city and the fans. In the Carpathians there were many players who played with me, and some started. I will be glad to see them all ".

"The very same duel will certainly be very difficult, as always matches against the Carpathians. Even more complicating the situation is that we do not particularly understand what can now be expected from the Lviv team. The Carpathian game is in its infancy, and this process is clearly not yet completed. The match against Dynamo can not be considered indicative, but after the last victory the morale of the team and its fans has risen ".

"I personally was sure that we will play in Mariupol. Someone, and the Carpathians - fearless, like footballers, and fans. I do not even know where the fans of the Carpathians would be afraid to go. But in Mariupol they just have nothing to fear, I do not see any problems with the holding of this match ".

The match Mariupol - Carpathians will be held on August 13, starting at 17:00.
