Midfielder Ivan Petryak commented on the match against Veres and the change of the game position.

Donetsk Shakhtar went to the semi-finals of the Ukrainian Cup, beating Veres in 1/4 finals with a score of 4: 0. Ivan Petryak started the second meeting in a row at the start.

"Veres is an uncompromising team. Not in vain did they miss less than all goals this season. They play compactly and very aggressively, they run well in counterattacks. Also in their composition are many high-level players. We are glad that we made it to the semi-final of the Cup of Ukraine. Now we will prepare for the meeting of the championship, "Petryak quotes the official website of the Miner.

Let's note, that Ivan at present acts on a new position of the right defender because of absence of Srna and Butko.

"Yes, I had not acted on the defender's position before, but nothing, I gradually get used to it, I listen to the instructions of the coaches. For me there is no difference, the main thing is to help Shakhtar, "added Petryak.

It should be noted that on Saturday Shakhtar and Veres will meet again, but this time within the framework of the championship of Ukraine.
