Defender of Donetsk Olympics Vladis-Emerson Illoy-Ayet shared his expectations from the new season.

Recently, Olympic has come out of vacation and started preparing for the new season.

"I spent a good holiday, I spent two weeks in Odessa. I saw my mother and sister, I have not seen them for a long time.. The first thing they did was a family dinner. And then I tried to relax, gain strength and not think about football. I saw my friends, whom I had not seen for a long time. In Odessa, you can relax no worse than abroad. True, I was on the beach a couple of times, "- said Illoy-Ayet in an interview with the club's press service.

"We must spend the new season no worse than the past, because we have raised the bar high. Must now match this level. I hope we will succeed ".

"Will it be more difficult to repeat last year's success? Of course, because we have already lost Ivan Matyazha, perhaps several more leading players. They will have to look for a replacement. But this should not be emphasized, others will be replaced by others.

Personally, I will do everything that depends on me, be given one hundred percent ".

"For me, there is nothing more important than to prepare for the new season, including the debut in the European League. I want to prove myself as best as possible in European competition. Of course, I would like to play with a good team. I do not want to say, Everton or Milan, or someone else, at this stage there are a lot of eminent teams that, one way or another, will be favorites. I would like to play with the team from the top championship ".
