The head coach of Alexandria Vladimir Sharan noted that for the Ukrainian Cup against Chernomorets there will be almost a reserve squad, but at the same time his team has the task to pass on.

"We do not sacrifice the Cup. This is unambiguous. Why do we sacrifice the Cup? Youth composition, if you know, comes first in the youth championship. Therefore, I believe, tomorrow six players of the youth composition can leave, "- said Sharan.

"No one took the task to pass Chernomorets.

First of all, the president. This is our decision, because many players are injured, and it is clear that physically we are tired a bit. Moving very heavy. But no one says that we do not need a cup.. Simply, we give a chance to the players of the youth team and those who did not play in the championship ".

Match 1/16 finals of the Cup of Ukraine between Chernomorets and Alexandria will be held on Wednesday, September 26. Beginning of the meeting at 19:00 Kyiv time.
