- In what mood is the team preparing for Veres? Is there euphoria after the victory in the final of the Cup of Ukraine?.

- We are all happy, but we need to continue in the same spirit. We understand that the most important game with Veres is ahead, and for us this is the main goal. I hope we will be champions. Throughout the season, we try very hard, and such a result will be an assessment of our work.

"What is your opinion of Veres?".

- Strong team. In the first meeting with her, we had difficulties, and now it will not be easy. However, Shakhtar is completely ready, we are playing in Kharkov with the support of our fans! I expect that we will show everything on the field, what we are working on in training and what Mister demands of us, and in this case we are obsessed with a big victory in the season.

- What is the main thing in the upcoming match?.

- Most likely, the opponent will close on the defensive. We need to have patience, try to control the ball, open their zones and score. Also you have to be careful with counter-attacks of Veresa - such teams are betting on it.

- Alan, you recently renewed the contract with the club ....

- Yes, I am very happy that I will spend some more time in Shakhtar. My family is also happy. We will try to win titles. We want to become champions more than once..

- In the final of the Champions League, Shakhtar players in the majority will be rooting for Real Madrid or Liverpool?.

- I do not know, but the show is in any case expected to be good. I personally follow both of them and others. I hope to win the strongest.

- Paulo Fonseca gives you an example of something from the game of Real Madrid or Liverpool?.

- No, we try to analyze our own actions and our rivals.
