Football. ua represents the announcement of the match of the 18th round of the ULL between Shakhtar and Veres.

17:00, Kharkov, USC Metalist. Arbiter - Denis Shurman. Live broadcast on Football 2.

In Kharkov, the leader of the championship examines one of his greatest discoveries.

"The warm-up has ended, now we are waiting for the match of the championship", - these words were summed up by the cup-match duel for the team with the Donetsk team Veresa. Once defending (and not without success) miners' gate Yuri Wirth, apparently, initially considered the cup match only as a kind of preview of the Premier League match, and the final four missed by the nominal guests of the ball did not become for the coach such a catastrophe. A different matter for Paulo Fonseca. The Portuguese is focused on accomplishing the maximum tasks on all fronts, and no underestimation of opponents is allowed any more.

By the way, in the cup match, the guests appeared before a few fans at the USC Metalist in the experimental composition, where there was a place for some experienced performers and doubles. The first pancake for the young rovenechans turned out to be a lump, and, most likely, in the championship match, Wirth will give preference to experienced fighters. Among them stands the universal soldier of Ukrainian football Vasily Kobin, who not so long ago defended the colors of the Miner.

Of course, after a number of points losses and a crushing defeat from Napoli in the Champions League, the miners will be fighting for whatever they can for the maximum result in each of the remaining meetings. There is nothing else left for Veres, because the people's club intends to make a kind of "blitzkrieg": in the first season in the elite to get into European cups, and even at all - to the winners of the championship. However, the presence of ambitious plans is not a clear guarantee of their successful implementation, and this applies not only to the residents of Rovno ... Tentative compositions Miner: Pyatov - Petryak, Hocholava, Ordets, Ismaili - Stepanenko, Fred - Marlos, Kovalenko, Bernard - Ferreira.

Veres: Bandura - Cobin, Adamyuk, Borzenko, Siminin - G. Pasich, Karasyuk, Morozenko, Voloshinovich, Stepaniuc - Sergiychuk.

Injured: Krivtsov, Malyshev, Butko, Tyson - E. Pasich.
