The Girniks' mentor shared his thoughts before the game with Veres.
Head coach of Donetsk Shakhtar Marino Pusich commented on the upcoming UPL match against Kharkiv Metalist 1925.
" All matches are important, but the victory was good. The remaining few days are spent training diligently and are ready to compete with Veres.
As I said last time, the Ukrainian Championship has no easy matches. All fights are complicated in their own way. That’s why we have to concentrate on 100 hundred thousand in order to show a good result.
Veres is also fighting for a high place in the table, so his opponent is not safe in his own way. We studied the strengths and weaknesses of the opponent and it was our responsibility to understand this knowledge well. We are really serious about this. Rivalry is a team that plays football, so we can be prepared.
We train at the Lviv Arena, because we want to understand the stadium, which is important, and also through our own minds. Heating the field. Such a place is good for this time of fate. It is fitting for me to train with the team in this arena.
Personnel situation? May everything be in place. It’s a pity that Stepanenko is disqualified, and other guys are ready to play, except for those who are already suffering from injuries. Our team has competition, and that’s not how it should be. Stepanenko is an important person for us. He is a captain, a wonderful man and a football player. So we won't bother you anymore. Ale other guys will play in your position. Really, I can’t name the names, protests, chants that they are concluding their task as if I wanted.
It is very important for us to be kind to each other, as I already said after the match with Metalist 1925, and for each other. It's a long way off to start. There are two more fights ahead in the first part of the season. It’s important to finish well and put aside good emotions before the game against Porto,” Pusic said in an interview with the Girniky press service..
Guess what, the match Shakhtar - Veres will be held today, 8th January, about 17:0 at the Kiev hour. On Football. ua online text broadcast of the match will be available.
