Head coach of "

About Bologna:.

– Of course, we can say that Bologna has spent a lot of important money from this off-season, so it happens. Please respect that Bologna also managed to acquire many famous Viconavians during this period. I don’t at all support the Viconavians individually; for me, the team, the same team style, is important.. The rest of the season, Bologna as a team performed on the highest level. And I would like to welcome our rival with this historic result, which we achieved last season. The match of the highest level in the strongest club tournament in Europe is upon us. On this level, as I have said, it is impossible to strengthen any personalities, except for specific Viconavians, then I can name Karlsson, for whom I have clear evidence of spivpratsiya in AZ Alkmaar, also, obviously, most of the Croatians, as we imagine.

About Shakhtar’s chances of victory over Bologna:.

– For me, this is a tournament of the highest level, where the chances of teams are always 50 to 50 – and this is wonderful football. And in our match the chances are equally equal. Of course, the songs of the top clubs can be seen, but now football is on a completely new level and all teams start the match with zero goals scored. Therefore, tomorrow the chances of the superniks will all be on the football field.

About the new format of the Champions League:.

– If we talk about the situation as a whole, then, of course, the format is already being disrupted and encourages a new approach to skin problems on the side of any opponent. I respect that this format needs to be tested in practice right away, in order to calm the song of hostility. In words, it is clear that a completely new approach is emerging - if only for those who now need to prepare for a much larger number of superniks. Until the end of our approach, nothing will change in preparation for the super matches; until each match we will definitely prepare and give our all. I’m guessing that tomorrow’s match will be a miracle for us, as the team can re-evaluate how much the format has changed. And now, after many first matches in the new format of the Champions League, we will be able to make fewer changes based on the extent to which the plan for approaching the opponent has changed.

About Mikoli Matvienka’s misdeed:.

- So, VIN turned around the National Zbirniye Ushkodenni, the MI IGO was the yogo in the match with the Carpathians I gave the can of the Trokhi, they are fateful, so -sized bouvy yogo igrovich Grafik Ostannim. Ale is now with us, in order and absolutely ready. And since there is a hesitation about his possible appearance on the field in the match with Bologna, then tomorrow we will drink some coffee in Mikoli, as far as he is ready to feel. Well, knowing his character, I hope that he will show his willingness to give in tomorrow and be with the team.

About those that statistical portals give Shakhtar low chances in this Champions League:.

– Of course, other resources can assess our chances as not very great, and the current circumstances are most relevant to this: the situation in Ukraine and all those complications that the team faces when fighting for such situations. But for me there is no great significance in those that are announced before the tournament or before the match. Most of those who make such forecasts do not have a clear picture of what is going on in the middle of the team and how effectively we work the rest of the time. You can guess the previous season of the Champions League, where we managed to show ourselves at a very high level and still fought to get out of the playoff tournament. I honestly want to know that I can consult with experts who estimate our chances are not very high, but I also know that everything is going wrong on the football field. Tomorrow there will be a new season, a new chance and a new opportunity to ensure that all future developments can be forgiving. Everything is left behind us. So we are looking forward to tomorrow's match and getting ready.

About those how important it is for me to work in Ukraine in the minds of the Russian-Ukrainian war:.

– As I said earlier, describe, in what we understand, the true situation with the health care situation in Ukraine. Let me assure you that all representatives of our club work extremely well - from the leaders and the coaching staff to every member of the staff. I’ll tell you that life is like this, and everything turns out this way. We are obliged to work in such settings, in which we have stopped, and despite all the folding we report maximum strength, otherwise we will be on the best level – where we are at the same time and at the same time. The greatest rhubarb is the ceremony of the Champions League, and tomorrow we will definitely demonstrate everything we have built on the football field.
