Olympic captain Zauri Makharadze summed up the match with Chernomorets and told about the upcoming meeting with Alexandria.

In the last match of the Ukrainian championship, Olimpik lost to Chernomorets (1: 3), and already in the next match he will play against Alexandria at the capital's Dynamo Stadium. Valery Lobanovsky.

- The team had two days off. How did you celebrate the holiday?.

- After the match with Chernomorets, I stayed in Odessa, I saw my relatives. I have not been in my native land for a long time, I miss my relatives very much. Especially, Easter - a family holiday, spent it with the family.

"Did the defeat in Odessa greatly hurt your self-esteem?".

- Yes, absolutely.

- What, in your opinion, did not work in the match with Chernomorets?.

- Absolutely everything, both in attack and in defense. We played very poorly. In my memory this is one of the weakest games of Olympique, in which I participated. I always try to find reasons in myself. I made certain conclusions for myself. Every football player must draw conclusions after this game.

- Roman Sanzhar after the match said that this Olympic in spirit was not yet. Problems in the team there?.

- We have a new team. If earlier I could say about every football player, now there is no. Climb to the guys in the head is very hard. Last year, every football player understood the requirements of the head coach, now this is harder. It takes time, I think, in the near future everything will be fine.

- How do you think, how to get out of this mini-crisis?.

- Only through victories. You need to get points, show a good game and gain confidence in your abilities.

- Ahead of the match with Alexandria. How would you characterize the opponent's game?.

- Their game is built on long programs. We have always been hard to match with the townspeople. This will be one of the most difficult games for us in the second six.

- Indeed, the matches between Olimpic and Alexandria in recent times, and this season in particular, are obtained by stubborn. Fans should not expect a lot of goals?.

- It's hard to say, it's football. In Odessa, we missed three goals, and in Lviv - three times scored. Now football is unpredictable, but I think that the audience will see a beautiful game in the performance of two teams and will not remain disappointed.

- From a tournament standpoint, this is a full-time duel of two contenders for the consolation cup, which is awarded to the seventh team of the ULP. How important is this trophy for Olympique?.

- Again, for your self-esteem - this is important.

Since they were in the second six, you need to take the highest possible place, get as many victories as possible. But still this is the seventh place, not the third or fourth.

- What makes Alexandria different from the other teams of the second six?.

- They have a good selection of players, now they have a very played team. The urban population does not change the composition, they are acutely amplified. Against them, as I said, it's always hard to play. No wonder this team in the summer took part in the qualification of the League of Europe.
