At the finals of this Ukrainian Cup, we are under pressure from the confrontation between Poltava Vorskla and Donetsk Shakhtar, who already faced each other in the final round of this tournament in 2009 - we will win "

Head coach of Vorskla Sergey Dolgansky shared his thoughts on the upcoming match with the “Girniki”, who in the current campaign became the winners of the Ukrainian Premier League.

“First of all, we understand that everyone who knows us here has a great respect for the people who are stealing our fatherland. Last year we didn’t think about it and didn’t think about it, so we all know it. This game will be dedicated to him.

Before the match, then it's the final. For teams like Vorskla, the final is a ceremony on a grand scale. Shakhtar may be playing through the river or short finals, but for us it’s a chance to create history for our club. There’s really nothing to talk about here: this is the reason why we play football, and this is a great motivation for all of us. Everything that came before is of no importance; only one game matters, as everything is. All of them are in the ranks, they are all preparing for the game, so insurance is provided for all the soldiers who are in the squad.

Ukrainian Cup final 2009, won by Vorskla? At that time, Shakhtar became the holder of the UEFA Cup, and did not give us any chances at all. Nobody has been insured on this. You see, courage is important in such games. Not the fear of losing, but the courage to overcome. And in that team, which she also played, there was. But these are completely different stories.

Infection of other graves: another Shakhtar, another Vorskla. That’s why we need to use these other words: it doesn’t matter who has the chances, what matters is the heart with which you enter the field,” Shakhtar’s official website quotes Dolgansky as saying..

Guess what, the final of the Ukrainian Cup between Poltava Vorskla and Donetsk Shakhtar will take place on Wednesday, May 15, at 19:00. Follow the key points of this match in the online text broadcast on Football. ua.
