After 10 UPL rounds, Lugansk Zorya is in eighth place in the tournament table. Viktor Skrypnyk’s team has 13 points: they have three wins and none. In the rest of the match, the Luhansk club played in a goalless draw with Rivne Veres.

Football. ua spoke with goalkeeper Zorya Oleksandr Saputin about the team’s performance during the current season, changes in the training process with the arrival of Viktor Skrypnyk, as well as about the status of the leading striker in the UPL after leaving.

– Sashko, behind us is the match against Veres, which ended in a zero draw. On one side, good for you, without missing out. Otherwise, the team didn’t win. What emotions are important to you?

– I would say that there are more negative emotions in the middle of me after this game. In any case, we would respectfully win the game, but we wasted points. Cover it up.

– The rainy weather is affecting the goalkeeper’s actions?

- Insanely, the weather is getting better. We were blessed with such a bad luck that we had to wait a little before the match to adapt to the field within an hour. However, we are still dissatisfied with the result of the match.

– Zagalom, in this UPL season, the match from Veres became your third clean sheet after the clashes from Obolonya and LNZ. Which of these matches will be difficult for you or will involve a lot of work

– Kozhen from the matches in which I engraved, being foldable in my own way. I had a robot in all these matches, luckily I got along with it. Therefore, I can’t reclaim any one match in which I won to zero..

– Last time we talked to you about the pouches for the previous season. During this hour the team has changed head coach. What has changed for you and your colleagues in the training process

– In addition to the fact that the head coach has changed, we have a new goalie coach. It’s clear that this has its own specifics, but in the training process everything is new to us. And with Viktor Anatoliyovich, in principle, we already know. Since I coached Zorya, I competed for the youth team and I already got to train with the first team. That's what I already know. With this, I began my formation as a gravel.

– I had a chance to run a lot at the training camp?

- Not without that, the physical foundation is very important. Ale we all understood why we care, there was no such supermundane suffering here.

– For any of the 10 matches this season, Vikonanna Zori has the greatest cover? Where we could have taken more points, we didn’t get far?

– Cover for the leather match, if we didn’t get to win. Here the hour is gone, here it’s lucky. Therefore, you need to exercise control over yourself and not indulge in mercy in further matches.

– In our same interview, you called Vladislav Vanat the most unfavorable UPL forward. After Vlad moved to Girona, as a gatekeeper, it became easier to die?

- Well, for whom, sir, it’s become easier. Well, I know another attacker who is also very difficult for a professional sense. Fortunately, he plays with me on the same team, Pylyp Budkivsky.

– At the Ukrainian Cup, Zorya entered the fight for the title early, losing to Chornomorets. In whose match, having stolen the gate, not you, but the great one was your disappointment after the final whistle of whose match?

- Insanely, I was so enchanted. We understand what this season will bring to the stage? There were a lot of teams from the First and Other Leagues in the finals, but there are no us at this stage. At the same time, we understand that the Ukrainian Cup is a chance to make it to the European Cups. Unfortunately, this road is already closed for us during the production season. This makes it impossible to concentrate on the championship games.

– Zorya’s task for the current season is the European Cup?

- Yes, definitely. I can collapse all by myself.

– In the 11th round you have a home match with Rukhom. While the opponent is one of the outsiders to the championship, you can see their weak points?

– The current championship has no shortage of weak teams, so it’s easy to compare the results of the individual round. The Rukh has good, qualified Vikonavians, so they certainly cannot be underestimated. A great match is checking on us.

– And after the tour you will play with Metalist 1925, which Mladen Bartulovich admires. Your sleepover, Zorya has some winnings for this match?

- I don’t think that’s why we’ve poured in. In matches against such ambitious teams as Metalist 1925, you always think about the final result, and not about any special moments. On my own side, I will say that before the match you need to show yourself at your best and show your best self, which is what I am concentrating on at the moment..
