The defender commented on the signing of a new agreement with the Miner.

"The mood is excellent. I am glad that I have the opportunity to spend another four years in such a team as Shakhtar. Everything was solved quickly enough. It took only half a day to settle all the issues ".

Krivtsov told about the preparation of the team for the game against Alexandria and whether the Gornyakov players are thinking about how to become champions as soon as possible.

"Even if we get the upper hand on Sunday, we will not be mathematicians yet. In any case, despite the composition that will be released on the field, everyone will try to achieve victory and make fans happy with a beautiful game.

Against Shakhtar, almost all teams demonstrate defensive football, trying to act mainly on counterattacks. I think this match will not be an exception. However, the coaching staff will certainly tell you how to make it easier to open the opponent's defense.

Wards of Vladimir Sharan are famous for their defense. Textured defenders are acting positively, they play well on the second floor. But due to team actions, the speed of attacking players will try to overcome the defenses of the Alexandrians ".

Also centerback spoke about the differences in the requirements for the work of the defenders from Mircea Lucescu and Paulo Fonseca.

"Now we basically play in the zones, and when Lucescu acted more personally".
