On the eve of the eighth round of the championship of Ukraine against Shakhtar midfielder Alexandria Vasily Grytsuk shared with the TV channels Football 1 / Football 2 the secret of success of his team and the expectations from the meeting with the champion and leader.

- What is the secret of Alexandria's current success?.

- It's all about understanding. We have been playing together for many years, probably, it's time to "shoot".

- Alexandria is not going to lag behind Dynamo and Shakhtar?.

- Now, probably, it's unreasonable to rush loud statements that the team intends to win the championship title. Now we are able to demonstrate good football and achieve victories. We always adjust to the maximum result, but the championship is long, and what will happen to Alexandria in the end - we learn at the end of the season.

- Prepare for the opponent surprises tactical plan?.

- Everybody knows each other too well to surprise. I can only assure that the players of Alexandria will fight on every stretch of the field. We want to confirm the status of the team that is at the top of the standings.

- The composition of the Miner has changed significantly compared to last season ... - I think for the "miners" this is a serious blow, because the team left the experienced leaders. Yes, there have also come strong performers, but they still do not have enough understanding.

- The fact that Alexandria will play at home, to some extent, the team's chances?.

- I think Shakhtar does not care where to play.

"Miners" performed, and not bad, in the big European arenas, What for them is our 7 thousandth stadium? But for us the support of fans is very important. When you feel the support of the full stands, your feet run.

Match Alexandria - Shakhtar will be held on Saturday, September 15, at the stadium Nika. Beginning at 14:00. Live broadcast on Football 2.
