Dnipro forward shared his thoughts before the game with Rukh.

Forward Oleksandr Filipov commented on the upcoming UPL match against Lviv Rukh.

" The team is mobile, physically well prepared, and does not slow down the pace throughout the match. Check under the most strained load. We know that as soon as “Rukh” is ready, we are preparing for a close match.

Of course, Obolon will be an important match. That's it, now Premier Lisa doesn't have any easy fights. Obolon at home also plays aggressively, they also wonder about the possibility of catching their opponent on counterattacks, and often hesitate to throw attacks behind the defenders’ backs. Also saw her group in standard positions. We needed to de-emphasize all these moments, and we ran into these problems.

I won’t say that it was difficult to adapt to Dnieper-1, but everything would take an hour. Adaptation took two to two months. And although we are on the same page, we played one against the other and at the same time in the same team, but it still takes an hour to understand how the team works, who has what strengths. But I respect that with each other’s skin our mutual understanding becomes ever greater and greater.

Competition in the fight for first place? Don’t be surprised by the fact that we have Shakhtar and Dynamo, the giants of our football, it’s nice to know that teams like Kryvbas and Polissia are fighting with us for the top part, for the prizes of the place.

That's why it's so nice.

Football is important for patients. All the spectators, who know the time to come to the games, encourage the teams. So it’s always nice to play, either at home or on the road. “We are happy to see people in the stands and do good to them,” said Filippov’s press service of the UPL.

Guess what, the match Dnipro-1 - Rukh will be held today, February 8th, at 13:00 Kyiv time. On Football. ua online text broadcast of the match will be available.
