Dnipro to play in the semi-final of the Cup of Ukraine with the Miner.

- How did the players perceive your words that you need to perform a feat to pass the Miner?.

- I think, they took it normally, because that's the way it is.

- How can the Dnieper beat Shakhtar?.

- First of all, due to good organization, due to dedication - I do not think that I will be original here. And due to good luck.

- Will it help you that the Miners played with Dynamo at the weekend?.

- The game ended in the victory of Shakhtar - now he comes to today's meeting in a good psychological state. It will play into the hands of the Donetsk team. I do not think there will be any fatigue - the Miners had enough time to restore. So the match with Dynamo will only play a positive role for Shakhtar.

The same applies to us. For the Dnieper, every game is like a finale. The victory over the same Vorskla for us is comparable to the victory over Dynamo for Shakhtar. Another thing is that we have much fewer players. We are younger and can not hold the same rotation as the Miners. Both teams will have a good psychological attitude.

- Who do you consider the most dangerous Shakhtar player right now? Will you act against someone personally?.

- Personally, we will not play against anyone. The entire attack group is very dangerous for them. There are qualified, fast, technical football players, so I would not talk about someone. The miner now really stands out as a team game.

- Does the team think about the possibility to get into the European Cups through the Cup to serve a disqualification in the next season?.

- So far we do not look. We just want to win today. I do not know how our situation will develop further - we will play in European competition, we will not - it's absolutely not important now. We will enter the field to defeat Shakhtar and reach the final.

- Do you train a penalty shootout?.

- No, we are working on other components.

- Who would you like to see as a rival in the final?.

- It does not matter.

Recall, the meeting of Shakhtar and Dnieper will take place today in Kharkov. Beginning at 20. 00 Kyiv time.
