The general director of FC Zarya Sergey Rafailov answered the questions of the fans in the framework of the traditional Internet conference.

About goals and objectives: The goal is to show football, which the fans will like. And to occupy high places. As for the second place, this year it is too early to talk about this. First, we need to take the third place and successfully formed the Cup final, where the teams that took the first and second places met, and the bronze medalist got the right to play in the group stage of the Europa League.

On the extension of the contract with Yuri Vernidub: This issue will be resolved closer to summer. The president, I think, will discuss this aspect with the head coach. We are not going to stop relations, we will make another offer to Yuri Vernidub and, we hope that he will accept him.

On the transition of Nikita Kamenyuki to Veres: It was his choice. Probably, the decision taken by the player is correct. For sure, Nikita Kamenyuka talked with the coaching staff and leaders of Veres who promised him full-fledged gaming practice. The former injuries, the recovery regime, did not allow him to fully comply with the requirements that were presented at the beginning of the championship to the players of the Dawn. There was a hard schedule. Each match had to be pulled almost on the veins. But we believe in Nikita. He is a fighter and must prove in Veresa that it's too early to write off of football life.

About Andrei Lunin: Andrei Lunin is interested not only in Real Sociedad, but also in a number of clubs from almost all TOP championships. The cost of transfer rights to Andrei Lunin on the pages of the site, I can not discuss. When we have a good proposal, which can not be refused, the president will think. So far, Andrei on a contract in Luhansk Zara and is preparing to continue the championship of Ukraine.

About sponsors: There is no interest from sponsors. Ukrainian football now, alas, is of no interest to anyone. When the matches are held at empty stands, it is not interesting.

On the possibility of holding games in the European League at the Slavutich Arena: UEFA requirements for those arenas where Eurocups are supposed to be held every year are being improved and toughened. Much has been done at the Slavutych Arena today by the leaders of the city and the stadium. Turnstiles are installed, lighting repairs are carried out, a powerful Internet line is established. But there are disadvantages that need to be addressed.

All this is fixable. This is what city leaders want, too. We also know what the arena for Eurocups should be and help them. And what is necessary, they will do directly, as they are the owners of the arena. So far, Slavutych Arena is in the alleged candidates for the Europa League matches. But I want to note that we first need to go there. We will fight for getting into the group stage.

About Gael Ondua: Gael Ondua had a number of problems. Both personal and with documents. He could not fly to Turkey for the second gathering. He was not allowed by border guards. This sometimes happens to citizens of African countries. Many clubs had problems of this kind.

About Leonidas: As for Leonidas, everything will be decided by the club together with the football player, what to do with it. He needs to play. But in those schemes that the coaching staff suggests, it does not fit.

About Timothy Sukhar: He is going through the training camp with the team. Has positive feedback from the coaching staff. He also sympathizes with his game perseverance, and attitude to the case, and human qualities. We are negotiating with the Dnieper. I think the contract will be signed.

About Evgenie Opanasenko and Vasily Priyme: These football players are concerned about previous injuries. Now they are in Serbia on the rehabilitation of doctors who help to recover from injuries to football players from a variety of clubs.

About Bogdan Mikhaylichenko: Lease agreement with Bogdan Mikhaylichenko not signed.

About Petros Avetisyan: As for Petros Avetisyan, our breeders watched this football player, negotiated with the club. But those conditions that were announced to us were not entirely acceptable to us.

On the video broadcast of friendly matches: This can be done. In better or worse quality. But the question for what? We talked about this with the head coach. We do not believe that this is necessary.

The team is in the training process, under loads of very different nature. Naturally, someone in better shape, someone at worst, has positive sides and not very. All this is a working process, which is necessary, first of all, to the club coaching staff. Fans also need to go to calendar matches and assess the result that the team achieves in official games.

On the implementation of video replay: You see, in Ukraine we have not worked with this system yet. But, like everything new that is introduced in football, if it helps to remove subjectivity in solving some controversial issues, where the human factor plays a big role, of course this will benefit. But we must wait. If this is implemented in our country, we will execute. And there we'll see. When we see how this works, let's draw conclusions. But everything new with great difficulties is embodied in life.

About the meeting with the leadership of La Liga: A very useful and productive workshop was. I am grateful to the Premier League of Ukraine in the person of its president Vladimir Gennison for the close contact they have established with one of the world's leading leagues, because the best players of the world are playing there.

Grateful to the workers of La Liga. They with great desire met with us. Representatives of all departments. And the president of La Liga, who talked with us for more than three hours. Talked about the work of La Liga and answered all questions. For myself, I extracted a lot of useful information.

I made the following: we must actively work in social networks. We saw many examples. I do not think that we will achieve everything quickly either, but we need to move. And we will do it. In the same place, I agreed with the representatives of La Liga, when there will be a window, we will send representatives of the club to get acquainted with their work. Send our trainer for physical training, sports director and head of the scientific group.

The other day there was installed the system "Catapult" and the functionality of this system is vast. She collects and analyzes information about the state of the player during training and games. The coach understands the condition of the footballer and what should be emphasized. And this is for every single football player.
