Midfielder Polissya spoke about the upcoming match against “Girniki” in the UPL.

As part of the opening match of the 15th round of the Ukrainian Premier League, Donetsk Shakhtar will compete with Zhytomyr Polissy.

Polissia's retired worker Artem Kozak shared his impressions from this upcoming competition with the current champions of Ukraine.

" In every match we play with the giants. And Polissya is such an underdog. It’s just a little bit and that’s why this match is special for us. It behooves me if they underestimate us. They started to dance gorgeously. I'm in a good mood on the bus and thinking about the game. It's wonderful if we're considered underdogs."

\? Having seen a change in trainer, a new little one. Plus they have European Cups. Well, I think they have some tasks. Of course, and you don’t need to forget about the championship. You know how tight the tournament table is. Vidriv minimal and skin team fight for the best place. So I think it will be a better match. And for them, and for us. I think we are pleasantly surprised, I rest on this"

\? It’s polite, but it’s respectful, who’s to judge?. You can judge by one game, but you can judge by the picture of the season.

Ale in any event, in the event of a game with Shakhtar, with Dynamo, who are respected by the giants, people will admire and talk about the team. This is important in terms of image in Ukraine. It doesn’t matter if you’ve worked the whole season, or if you’ve beaten Dynamo or Shakhtar, then you’re a hero,” Artem Kozak is quoted as saying by the official Polissya website.

Guess what, the Shakhtar - Polissia match will take place on Friday, the 24th of leaf fall, at 19:00 Kyiv time. You can follow these key points in the online text broadcast on Football. ua.
