Forward Desna Alexander Kovpak told about the plans and tasks for the season.

Earlier it was reported that Desna made striker Alexander Kovpak in the application of the first team for the matches of the championship of Ukraine 2018/19.

"Everyone probably knows that my previous club FC Poltava unexpectedly broke up. We were gathered and in one day all were dissolved. Have told, take away documents and search to yourself new clubs. Within a day I got a call from Alexander Dmitrievich and asked if I had a desire to come to the first gathering of the Desna. Of course, I agreed, collected my things and went to Chernigov ", - quotes Kovpaka official website of the Desna.

"We had an oral agreement with the head coach Alexander Ryabokon, I played some friendly matches for Desna in Chernigov. After that they spoke with the president and the questions on the contract were closed. We arrived in Poltava and already officially formalized everything ".

Note that the contract Kovpaka with the Desna is designed for one year.

"In the Desna - a wonderful team. With the guys found a common language at once, especially since many of my friends play here, so in terms of adaptation, there were no difficulties. In general, I Desna very much impresses me ".

"Frankly, I'm a bad forecaster, I do not like to say anything ahead of time. However, the Desna is a good level team and so far it has been strengthened by serious, experienced performers. In addition, there are promising youth, so the potential of this team is very significant. And the debut season in ULL for the Desna is unlikely to be easy ".

"How can they hurt in Chernigov, I realized even when I came here with Poltava. Then, however, the weather was, to put it mildly, not very. However, the Chernigovs still came to support the Desna and did it desperately. It was very pleasant to see people who, despite everything, come to the stadium. It really deserves respect.

Therefore, I'm already looking forward to the first game against Shakhtar in order to feel this incredible atmosphere and personally get to know local fans ".

"It's hard to say how much I'll score. But I can definitely promise - this is the qualitative performance of my work. For each game I'll go out like the last one and try to be as useful as possible. And there will be a goal or assists - it does not matter. The main benefit for the team. I feel very well in terms of function, that's why I approach the start of the season in an excellent form ".
