The head coach of Mariupol Alexander Sevidov summed up the team's home gathering and told about plans for the summer transfer window.

"The first stage of preparation was standard. All those guys that we wanted to see in our team, went out of vacation and started preparing for the season. Work goes according to plan. Now players get a lot of work. Because of the specifics of summer preparation, the first stage of preparation is shortened, but very saturated. We did two workouts a day. In the morning we focus on running work. This is a difficult job, nevertheless the guys train in a good mood. But the second gathering, which starts on June 26 in Pushcha-Vodice, will be more gaming with an emphasis on tactical pursuits, "- quotes Sevidov's press service Mariupol.

"We invited Slava Churko. He already played in Mariupol and proved himself well. Now Slava is already strong, gained experience, played abroad and felt that such a legionary bread. Also we will have Andrey Boryachuk. This is a young promising football player who acts on the defensive position for the Ukrainian football striker. I hope Andrei will help us, since we have one "clean" forward - Ruslan Fomin ".

"We plan to sign another 2-3 new players. We need an extreme defender - these positions are almost not duplicated by us. For example, on the right flank we now received a microtrauma Sasha Nasonov and in this position there is practically no one to play. There are a number of positions that I would like to strengthen, but I do not think that there will be a lot of newcomers ".

"Tasks for the season? There are not yet. Upon arrival from Kiev there will be a meeting with the leadership of the Club, on which we will be tasked. I think our main goal is to gain a foothold in the Premier League. Yes, Mariupol is played by experienced players who have played a lot and won in their careers.

But we all the same beginners UPL, therefore we will be realists. Our readiness will show only the games championships.

Also, Sevidov commented on the refusal to play in Dynamo and the Carpathians in Mariupol.

"In the last 2-3 weeks in the press, the topic of holding games in Mariupol. But, probably, after the recent events at the Olympic, it's more terrible to play in Kiev than in Mariupol. Agree that it is abnormal, if Mariupol will not play at its stadium in a peaceful city. It would be wrong ".
